Notes: All models adjust for sampling weights. State and year effects, and indicators for state*age and year*age are included, as well as controls for marital status, education, race, and state unemployment rate, poverty rate, and percent of men aged 25-64 and under 200% of poverty who have private insurance. Standard errors are clustered by state cells and are in parentheses. N = 22,182 women ages 18-39 with a child less than one year old. Asterisks denote significance as follows:
***
significant at 1%
**
significant at 5%
*
significant at 10%.
