Models display the predicted probability (predictive margins) of outcomes based on models testing the interaction of each policy and educational attainment in separate sample-weighted logistic regression in models that included fixed effects for state and for year and adjusted for individual- and state-level covariates, including all other pregnancy-specific alcohol policies.

ME = (average) marginal effect.
