Adjusted by time, male unemployment (seasonally adjusted) at the country-level, and the following county-level variables: total population, county size (in sq Km), number of Latino individuals, number of non-Latino (NL) White individuals, number of Latino households living in poverty (<100% federal poverty level), number of NL White households living in poverty, number of NL White households participating in SNAP, per capita income (inflation adjusted 2007 US$), % population 60+ years, unemployment, and urbanicity.
Rescaled to be interpreted as the change in the outcome associated with an increase of 1 SD in the state immigrant friendliness score.
Estimates derived from linear models where the outcome is the continuous county-level percentage participation in SNAP among Latino households.
