  1. Note: - 'I don't know', 'No response' and categories with very low numbers were not tabulated in order to save space, hence the numbers don't add up to 100%.
  2. - The total number of survey respondents was 1261. Only those with internet access (N = 1087) answered the above questions. Among internet users the second question was only asked to those who preferred video-tailored messages in the first question (N = 389).'
