Hello Carl

We have a statistics database ProQuest but I didn't see any information in it that would be helpful to answer your question. So far, I have not actually seen statistics to answer your question. You can try Ebscohost and use Social Science Index FT, and try different subject combinations and see what you can find.

I have looked on the web for some articles that might help. Here are four articles that might start you in the right direction.

Let me know if you have any further questions. You might also try searching on Google Scholar for articles.
