Patient-level factors are more salient than a legislation prohibiting minors in bars in predicting unintentional injury hospitalizations

Note:
Years indicate year of hospitalization
Of all the 1,243 cities in Illinois, over a 1000 cities responded to the Illinois Liquor Control Commission (ILCC) survey of local liquor-related ordinances. Of the 1000 cities that responded to the survey, 66.7 unique cities (n = 667) matched the home cities of young patients in this study. Of these cities, 514 responded to the question that asked whether minors under 21 years old are allowed in bars and taverns (yes vs. no). Cities whose responses were missing or unknown were excluded from the analysis
^aMinors under 21 allowed in bars and taverns that sell liquor
^bThis coefficient is set to zero because it is redundant
Age* gender = interactions between age and gender
Minors under 21* age= interactions between minors under 21 and age
