Chi-square (χ² )_{df = 4}	41.8	20.2	28.8
p value	<0.0001	<0.001	<0.0001

^aBecause a program may contain more than one target, the total frequency exceeds the number of activities.
The following differences in proportions are statistically significant:
¹ a-d,e, and b-d,e, and c-d,e p < 0.0001
² a-d and b-e, and c-d p < 0.05; b-d p < 0.0001
³ a-c and c-d p < 0.05; b-e p < 0.001; a-d,e, and b-d p < 0.0001
