Notes:

The units for the difference-in-difference estimate and the unemployment insurance estimates are percentage points of risk for the outcome indicated by the row. The unemployment insurance estimate compares those who did to those who did not receive unemployment insurance.

Point estimates, 95% confidence intervals, and p-values are from linear probability regression models with robust standard errors clustered by respondent (to account for repeated survey responses within individuals) and representativeness weights.

The q-value comes from the False Discovery Rate approach to control type I error. The q-value can be interpreted as indicating the proportion of results with that q-value or lower that would be expected to be a false positive accounting for all the analyses conducted. Thus a q-value < 0.05 indicates that, accounting for multiple analyses, a given result is expected to be a false positive less than 5% of the time.

Models were adjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity, education, income, household size, pre-pandemic food insufficiency, marital status, work in the last 7 days, state COVID cases per capita, state, and week of survey.
