Restrictive states only provide prenatal coverage to citizen and “qualified” immigrant mothers.

Nonrestrictive states provide prenatal coverage regardless of the mother’s documentation status.

Models adjust for child’s age and gender, household metropolitan area status, father’s documentation status, mother’s race/ethnicity, whether at least one parent had been in the United States for 5+ years, whether anyone in the household age 15+ spoke English well or very well, parental education and employment, family income as a percentage of FPG, the percentage of the state’s immigrant population who were noncitizens, and the percentage of the total state population made up by undocumented immigrants.
