Unadjusted monthly GFR. The vertical black line is at November 2013, the first month in which all conceived births would have been affected by the water supply for at least one trimester. This figure does appear to show city-specific seasonality. Given the differences in the demographic composition of Flint and some other cities and the correlation between socioeconomic status and birth seasonality (Trivers and Willard 1973), we run a specification using city-specific month fixed effects and find virtually identical results.
