Note: To measure the inclusiveness of states' education environments, we used each state's proportion of students educated in regular classroom less than 40 percent of their time. We reverse coded the proportions to denote inclusiveness and mean-centered them for easier interpretation. Families with income between 100% and 400% of the Federal Poverty Line (FPL) were coded as Middle SES. Families with income below 100% of the FPL were coded as low SES. High SES (>400% of the FPL) was omitted. For all models, we included the following individual-level control variables: age, sex, race, insurance, family structure, school, and co-morbidity. We also controlled for state-level covariates: state treatment recommendation ban prior to the federal ban, No Child Left Behind (NCLB) as treatment, proportion of the insured, psychiatrist per 10,000, and income per capita. Exponentiated coefficients are reported; p-values in parentheses. In Models 1, 2, 3, and 4, standard errors are clustered by state.
