Statistical significance is measured at the 5% significance level ( p value < .05).
Statistically significant differences between survey years ( p < .05) are indicated by the symbols and (significant increase or decrease respectively).
The symbol ≈ indicates there is no statistically significant difference between survey years.
A statistically significant difference is likely to represent a real change over time, rather than random variation due to the sampling process.
