Control (nonexpansion states)
|
Baseline intercept (B0) |
The intercept, or starting level of the outcome variable |
Pre-expansion trend (B1) |
The slope, or trajectory of the outcome variable until the introduction of the intervention |
Expansion (B2) |
The change in the level of the outcome that occurs in the period immediately following the introduction of the intervention |
Expansion-trend (B3) |
The difference between pre- and postintervention slopes of the outcome |
Treatment (expansion states)
|
Baseline intercept (B4) |
The difference in the level (intercept) of the outcome variable between treatment and controls prior to the intervention |
Trend (B5) |
The difference in the slope (trend) of the outcome variable between treatment and controls prior to the intervention |
Expansion (B6) |
The difference between treatment and control groups in the level of the outcome variable immediately following introduction of the intervention |
Expansion-trend (B7) |
The difference between treatment and control groups in the slope (trend) of the outcome variable after initiation of the intervention compared to pre-intervention (akin to a difference-in-differences of slopes) |
