Notes: All estimates considered in this table are the first difference between the current and prior birth admission. Mean outcomes are shown for the current birth. The sample is split by the prevalence of active-duty military OBGYNs at the nearest MTF hospital. The prevalence of active-duty military OBGYNs is measured as the proportion of birth admissions where the attending physician is on active-duty. The median is 55%. All regressions include controls for calendar year, age group, sponsor’s pay grade and occupation, and sponsor’s race. Standard errors are clustered at the base level.
