*3.1. The Information on and Characteristics of the Children of the Participants*

The basic statistics of the 5000 participants (fathers or mothers) from the general population who participated in the survey were obtained based on their answers to the question regarding their children (Table 1). Regarding the question about their children, 872 participants answered that they had a child (or children) under the age of 19, accounting for 17.4% of all participants (Table 1). The majority of these contributors answered that they only had one child that fell into that particular age group (*n* = 425, 48.7%), which was followed by those with two children in the corresponding age group (*n* = 393, 45.1%). When asked whether their children had any experience of using TKM over the past 12-month period, 209 answered they had, while 663 answered none (24.0% and 76.0%, respectively).
