Each model tests the relationship between the dependent variables of contraceptive use, any and most/moderately effective method use, and the key independent variable of health insurance coverage within jurisdications and across jurisdictions. Models control for income, insurance*income interaction, age, race/ethnicity, education level and relationship status. Adjusted odds ratios in bold represent tests producing significant differences in the outcome.
Most and moderately effective methods include female sterilization, IUDs, implants, pills, patch, ring and injectables.
