Notes: The colors indicate the strength and direction of the association between the policy domains and mortality rates, as shown in Figs 2–6. The colors in Table 2 give most weight to the findings from models using lag times of either 3, 4, or 5 years between the policy score and the mortality rates. Dark blue means that a more liberal version of the policy domain was associated with lower mortality using all, or most of, these lag times; light blue indicates that a more liberal version was associated with lower mortality for some of these lag times, but the evidence was not as strong. Dark red and light red colors were assigned using the same logic, but for these policy domains a conservative version was associated with lower mortality rates.
