Note: Standard errors appear in parentheses. Standard errors are clustered by the patient's modal township. Individual visits are observed at time t, lagged individual visits are observed at time t − 26, and all other regressors are observed from time t to t − 2. SARS connotes Quarters 2–4 of 2003. N indicates that the person is a non-mover. All regressions include network × N, year, and two-week period fixed effects.
