^aData sources include the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2006), Census (2006), and Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service (2003 and 2013) UIC. UIC-1 represents large metropolitan areas with at least 1 million residents. UIC-2 represents small metropolitan areas with fewer than 1 million residents.

^bStandard differences are calculated from the difference in means divided by the pooled SD. Therefore, standard differences are reported as positive values when proportions or rates are higher in restriction populations vs nonrestriction populations and negative when proportions or rates are higher in nonrestriction populations vs restriction populations.
