OCC = oral cavity cancer. n = number of individuals. AP-values for categorical data determined by Chi-squared test or Fisher’s exact test. Significance assigned if P <0.05. BFamily history includes first-, second-, and third-degree relatives. CCounts and percentages are not displayed in accordance with state Department of Health data suppression guidelines (e.g., when n < 11 or when cells could be used to derive suppressed values).
