TABLE 2.
The Association Between Lifting of State-issued Mask Mandates (At Least 15 Days Prior to Survey Date) and Self-reported Mask-Wearing Behavior by Vaccination Status, Sample Stratification by Urbanicity: Difference-in-difference Estimates
| Sample Stratification | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Urban | Suburban | Rural | |
| Lifting of mask mandate | |||
| For vaccinated | 0.06 (.219) | −0.03 (.385) | −0.08 (.247) |
| For those who plan to get vaccinated | 0.06 (.424) | 0.07 (.143) | −0.01 (.973) |
| For those who are not sure if they will get vaccinated | 0.14 (.010)a | −0.08 (.358) | −0.25 (.014)a |
| For those who do not plan to get vaccinated | 0.10 (.345) | −0.07 (.430) | −0.07 (.510) |
Note: The dependent variable is a dummy variable indicating whether the respondent often or always wore a mask around people they did not know in the last month. Respondents were coded as residing in a state that lifted a mask mandate if their state was subject to the lifted mandate for at least 15 days prior to the survey date. All models were estimated with robust standard errors and included covariates for sex, age, race and ethnicity, education, employment status, vaccination status, sun/ey month fixed effects, and state fixed effects. Results are reported as coefficient estimate with P-values in parenthesis.
