Table 5

Weighted kappa coefficients for coastal and noncoastal household members’ typical yearly, daily, and monthly consumption estimates and typical portion sizes of finfish, shrimp, oyster, and blue crab. Weighted kappa coefficients for all test-retest outputs had . Power calculations for sample size of n = 42, based on results on Pearson’s correlation from Fisher’s z-test for monthly, daily, and portion categories are included for each seafood type.
