Volunteers divided into retention groups and age classes.
Retention Groups | ≤1950 | 1951–60 | 1961–70 | 1971–80 | 1981–90 | 1991–00 | 2001–08 | Total | p |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 16 | 70 | 128 | 201 | 111 | 201 | 268 | 995 | <0.001 |
2–5 | 1 | 17 | 32 | 28 | 33 | 50 | 47 | 208 | 0.047 |
6–10 | 4 | 7 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 2 | 47 | <0.001 |
11–20 | 2 | 11 | 16 | 18 | 8 | 3 | 4 | 62 | <0.001 |
21–30 | 0 | 3 | 8 | 6 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 22 | 0.023 |
>30 | 5 | 7 | 10 | 5 | 4 | 7 | 1 | 39 | <0.001 |
Total | 28 | 115 | 204 | 267 | 166 | 271 | 322 | 1373 |
Retention groups are based on the number of months in which each volunteer contributed to the project. Retention groups are 1 month, 2–5 months, 6–10 months, 11–20 months, 21–30 months, and >30 months. Age classes are based on year of birth. Number of volunteers and percentages for each age class are reported. In the “Total” row and column, percentages are calculated based on 1373 volunteers. Significance of the diversity of age classes per retention group was tested by mean of Pearson’s chi-squared test.
