The first panel uses {0,1} outcomes for the presence of side effects in each category, the second uses the count of side effects reported by category, and the third uses the number of reported side effects for each category divided by the total number of possible side effects a user could select in that category. Robust standard errors are clustered at the user level. Coefficients are reported with 95% Confidence Intervals below. ∗∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗p < 0.05, p < 0.10.
