The modeled relative change in the number of ED visits per patient was estimated with a negative binomial model, with change after the implementation of the ACA provision measured by the interaction of the post-ACA period and the younger age group.
The modeled change in the probability of young adults ever using the ED pre-ACA versus post-ACA was estimated with Poisson relative-risk regression analysis, with change after the implementation of the ACA provision measured by the interaction of the post-ACA period and the younger age group.
