^aAnalyses exclude two religious groups that do not have church services. ^bMissing values for 3 non-adopters. ^cSignificantly different due to sampling: previous partner organizations who had been exposed to CRC studies but were not interested in adopting the program were not asked to complete the organizational survey.
P-values are from two-sample t tests for continuous variables and Fisher exact test for dichotomous variables. Estimated number of Filipino American members was log-transformed prior to the t test.
SD, standard deviation.
