Trends after Reporting: HypnoticsNote. To construct this figure, the difference-in-difference regression is estimated allowing for the effect after public reporting to vary with each quarter after public reporting. The baseline period is the average proportion of residents using the medication in the six quarters prior to public reporting and is indexed to the value 1. Any number under 1 indicates a decline in the proportion of residents using that medication relative to the baseline period. For example, a value of 0.95 indicates for that group of facilities, the reported outcome is 95 percent of the level it was at baseline.
