“…Nearly half of the studies (n=39) represent a cross-sectional single point in time (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56). Thirty-two of these cross-sectional studies report on a single sample (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46), and with the exception of one national sample (32), the samples were drawn from areas smaller than or equivalent to individual US states.…”
