Note: Values are estimate (95% CI). Estimates in boldface are statistically significantly different from zero (p<0.05).
a
The estimate for younger women (aged 18–44 years) is statistically significantly different (p<0.05) from the corresponding estimate for older women (aged 45–64 years). Estimates for older women are presented in Appendix Table 6 (available online).
b
The estimate for women enrolled in Medicaid is statistically significantly different (p<0.05) from the corresponding estimate for women with private health insurance.
