Rank-ordered list responses by respondent group. Number (n) refers to number of suggestions made by respondents in a particular group or subgroup. Rank order for themes in each group or subgroup was determined by the proportion of responses per theme (numerator) divided by the total number of responses (denominator). Because only the 3 top-ranked themes are shown, the proportions will not equal 100%. Values are n (%) unless otherwise specified.
