Notes: Models are adjusted for the left truncation at age 78. I = sample of implemented parishes of birth; M = sample of matched parishes of birth. The indicator Postb× New Health Districtp denotes treated parishes and cohorts, for which the new local health district established in parish of birth p in a year of birth b and remained in place in the post-treatment period. Standard errors (not shown) are clustered at the parish-of-birth level (414 parishes for I and 660 parishes for M). See the main text for further description. Numbers in parentheses are p values.
