1 The rate ratio of the level or immediate impact of firearm mortality relative to non-firearm mortality after each year of legislation implementation which is the β5 coefficient. A rate ratio greater than 1 suggests that the level of firearm mortality increased greater than the level in non-firearm mortality, while a ratio less than 1 suggests there is a decrease in the level of firearm compared to non-firearm mortality.
2 The rate ratio of the trend of firearm mortality relative to non-firearm mortality after each year of legislation implementation which is the difference-in-differences regression results. A rate ratio greater than 1 suggests that the trend of firearm mortality increased greater than the trend in non-firearm mortality, while a ratio less than 1 suggests there is a decrease in the trend of firearm compared to non-firearm mortality.
3 CI–confidence interval.
