TABLE 2—
Region | Estimated Monthly Firearm Deaths per 100 000 Population | Percentage Increase (95% CI) | |
January 1999–April 2016 | May 2016–December 2021 | ||
West Virginia | 1.204 | 1.519 | 26.2 (19.8, 31.7) |
United States | 0.913 | 0.904 | −0.9 (−6.2, 4.4) |
Note. CI = confidence interval. Rates were calculated via interrupted time series analyses of monthly firearm mortality per 100 000 population; pre–HB 4145 (January 1999–April 2016) values correspond to the model intercept, whereas post–HB 4145 enactment (May 2016–December 2021) values correspond to the model intercept along with the step change value shown in Table A (available as a supplement to the online version of this article at http://www.ajph.org).
