Part I models the probability of observing non-zero costs while part II models the level of costs for those with non-zero costs. Difference-in-differences estimates for part I represent odds ratios while for part II represent mean marginal monthly cost per person. IBH = integrated behavioral health. The size of N, which represents the # of person-months during the study window, for part I is 1,510,786 and for part II, averages 655,059 across the 5 cost measures considered. IBH = Integrated Behavioral Health.
