b Associations estimated in main models presented in Tables 2 and 3
c Associations estimated in models that used proportion of the population in poverty, summarized at the census tract level, instead of NDI to proxy neighborhood socioeconomic status
d Associations estimated in models stratified by urbanicity of census tract at birth, classified as urban or not urban (e.g., suburban or rural)
e Associations estimated in models stratified by race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic White)
f Associations estimated in models adjusting only for propensity scores (no additional covariates)
