Notes: Simple logistic regression models testing significance of differences in contraceptive use between insured and uninsured individuals, overall and low income, were run for jurisdictions with income data available for at least 50 individuals per jurisdiction. For jurisdictions with less than 50 individuals who were contraceptive users within certain income and insurance categories, we suppressed model results given the instability of calculations using such small numbers. For the two simple logistic regression models testing significance of difference in contraceptive use between insured and uninsured individuals, overall and low income, across jurisdictions, women in all jurisdictions were included in these models. ***p < .001, **p < .01, *p < .05.
