  • Notes: See notes to Table 2. Splits based on values prior to a DV event, which is the year 2000 for Columns 2, 3, 6, and 7 and the year 2007 for Columns 4 and 5 (since for mental health visits, data only start in 2007). Dependent mean refers to period t – 2, and percent effect is the DiD estimate divided by the dependent mean. Standard errors in parentheses. Significance: *p < 0.10, **p < 0.05.
