Notes: Alcohol use, cigarette use, and opioid use are maternal self-report measures scored on a 0–4 point frequency ordinal scale (0: never in last year; 1: less than 1 time per month; 2: several times per month; 3: several times per week; 4: everyday). The Alcohol and Cigarette Use Index is a preregistered additive index of alcohol use and cigarette use, which ranges from 0–8. Adjusted p-values are Westfall and Young adjustments for multiple hypothesis testing. For the adjustment, substance use measures are placed into one family and expenditure measures are placed into one family. Effect size is the treatment effect divided by the standard deviation of low-cash gift group. + p < 0.10; * p < 0.05
