a: P-value for overall 1 d.f. test for country (UK vs. Scotland)

b: P-value for overall 1 d.f. test for wave (pre- vs. post-law)

c: P-value for 1 d.f. test for country × wave interaction. This is the key term of interest to assess the association with the Scottish smokefree law with the change in outcomes examined
