SOURCE Authors’ analysis of data from the National Health Interview Survey, 2008–12. NOTES All estimates are mean percentages for insured women ages 19–25 included in the analysis sample. The sample includes 2,781 women interviewed before October 1, 2010, and 3,173 women interviewed after October 1, 2010. Significance indicates a difference for insured women ages 19–25 before versus after October 2010, based on t-tests.
The association between an interview date after versus before October 1, 2010, and race was insignificant based on Pearson’s chi-square test statistic corrected for survey design. The association between an interview date after versus before October 1, 2010, and health status was significant at the 1 percent level.
