SOURCE Authors’ calculations from data in online appendix exhibit A1 (see note 30 in text). NOTES Columns 1 and 3 show a base model for males and females. Columns 2 and 4 include a measure of risk from Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) in the male and female models; see Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Division of Population Health, 2018 BRFSS survey data and documentation (see note 25 in text). FPL is federal poverty level.
