^aStates that enacted immigrant-inclusive license policies, expanded Medicaid, and were included in the analysis: California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, and Vermont. Participants living in Hawaii, New Mexico, Utah, and Washington were excluded because their inclusive policies were enacted prior to 2011; Participants living in Delaware were excluded due to small sample size
^bStates that did not enact immigrant-inclusive policies but expanded Medicaid: Arizona, Arkansas, Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, and West Virginia
^cComparison of the quarterly prevalence of having at least one perceived poor physical (or mental) health day per month before and after a statewide immigrant-inclusive license policy was enacted; among control states, prevalence of perceived poor physical and mental health were compared across the same time periods
