Note: Difference-in-difference coefficient estimates andp-values from the main analysis are presented for the primary and secondary outcomes across the 3 service categories of interest. The estimates represent the differential percentage change in the outcome in the post-intervention period (January 1, 2019 – June 30, 2019) relative to the pre-intervention in New Hampshire compared to control states. Coefficient estimates are multiplied by 100 to approximate percentage changes. Heterogeneity robust standard errors clustered at the state level were estimated.
