Note: Beginning in June 2011, the monthly frequency of CHIS responses is great enough to allow us to adjust for seasonality in mental health reports of adults and adolescents using a simple ARIMA process. We performed our empirical analyses using both the full sample of observations (all waves of CHIS between 2007 and 2018) and the subset amenable to the ARIMA adjustment (CHIS waves 2011 through 2018). Both samples yielded the same inference. Approximately a third of each sample is comprised of sanctuary city respondents.
