This table reports the number of events predicted by the GEE models for each listed subgroup of our sample. These predictions are generated using post-estimation command predict with option rate in Stata 13. Estimations used independent variables Black, Other R/E, Food Stamps Recipient, No High School Completion, Lives in Urban County, Young Adult and interactions of Young Adult Indicator with Black and Other R/E indicators as regressors.

ALL indicates All Encounters; ER, Emergency Room Encounters; IP, Inpatient Care; PC, Primary Care; SP, Specialist Care; TH, Therapy; SUR, Surgery; DR, Developmental Rehabilitation; CLTC, community long-term care and Home Care.
