For Boston, change in use was examined prepolicy (1999–2011) to postpolicy (2012–2019). Statewide analyses account for the percentage of the state population covered by a policy each year. Stratified analyses also adjust for year, sex, race/ethnicity, and age based on categories available from the state.
