^aIn each linear regression, we controlled for sex, age, and race/ethnicity. We included fixed effects for state and year and clustered standard errors by school and by classroom. We included the full regression tables for each analysis in eTables 3 and 4 in the Supplement.

^bPercentages are weighted to be representative of the state population of high school students by student sex, grade, and race/ethnicity.
