- Frequencies (Freq) and percentages (%) in mobile phone variables for the men and women, including categorizations into Low, Medium (Med), and High. Questionnaire items are presented in footnote1. Missing values (non-responses to items) are not accounted for, which means that the n varies for the variables.
