          The NCS sample was not designed to detect possible
          differences in responses from relatively small
          population groups, such as American Indians and
          Alaska Natives, detailed Asian and Pacific Islander
          groups (such as Chinese or Hawaiians) or detailed
          Hispanic origin groups (such as Puerto Ricans or
          Cubans).

1/  Asterisk (*) indicates a statistically significant
    difference at the 90-percent confidence level.
