Notes: All models adjust for sampling weights. State and year effects 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%.
