Prevalence based on participants in the 39 states included in all 3 surveys. States omitted: Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Prevalences back-transformed from marginal log-odds estimated from logistic regression interaction models (MML × survey) that included individual-level (sex, age, education, race/ethnicity, marital status, urbanicity, and poverty) and state-level (% male, % white, % <30 y, and % ≥25 y without a high school diploma) covariates. Predicted prevalences estimated by a model with a dichotomous MML variable (ever-MML states vs never-MML states).
Never-MML states (1996-2012): Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Ever-MML states (1996-2012): Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Vermont, Oregon, and Washington.
P = .003; change in never-MML states between 1991-1992 and 2012-2013.
P < .001; change in ever-MML states between 1991-1992 and 2012-2013.
P = .004, change in never-MML states between 1991-1992 and 2012-2013.
P = .01; change in never-MML states between 1991-1992 and 2012-2013.
P = .001; change in ever-MML states between 1991-1992 and 2012-2013.
P = .03, change in never-MML states between 1991-1992 and 2012-2013.
