Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
This data is from a previous STARS submission (collected in 2017), but I am leaving it here because we have no reason to believe that the numbers have changed significantly since then. Because of COVID, we were not able to implement this survey during the last three years, but next time we plan to collect new data.
