Note. DD = difference-in-differences; DelCAN = Delaware Contraceptive Access Now; LARCs = long-acting reversible contraceptives. Each estimate comes from a separate regression. All estimates are weighted by the number of female family planning clients by age group, state, and year. SE accounts for imputation variance and state clustering. P values were obtained from a bootstrap that accounted for state clustering and a single treated cluster. The unweighted sample size was 490 per age group. In Delaware there were an average of 4752 clients aged 20–24 years, 5629 aged 25–34 years, and 2886 aged ≥ 35 years seen per year. In the comparison states there were 1.1 million, 1.3 million, and 0.6 million, respectively. The comparison states were the District of Columbia and all states except Colorado and Texas.
