  • Bs are unstandardised regression coefficients on standardised dependent variables. Two-way interactions between traditional health harms and COVID-19 harm were not statistically significant in initial models and so were removed from the final models. Bold indicates statistically significant effects. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001.
