p<0.05. Beta coefficients (β) represent the relationship between a one-unit change in the variable of interest and change in providers per 100,000 children. “Medicaid Expansion” is a dichotomous variable with 0 representing states that did not expand Medicaid and 1 representing states that did expand Medicaid. Household income measured in thousands ($USD). “State Insurance Mandate” is a dichotomous variable with 0 representing states that did not pass a state insurance mandate and 1 representing states that did pass a state insurance mandate.
