1/ / IG = index group, and CG = matching comparison group. The estimated mean difference is the bias-adjusted sample average treatment effect on the treated using nearest the neighbor matching estimator nnmatch in Stata 10, with 4 comparison workers matched to each index worker based on age, months of work experience, and gang.

2/ p-value for a z-test that mean difference = 0, rounded to two digits. 95% CI LL and UL are the lower and upper levels of the 95%
