Text

Regression results for homicide largely paralleled those for suicide: there was no significant main effect of MLDA (OR=1.04, p=0.35) but there was a significant interaction by sex with corresponding increased risk for death by homicide for women exposed to MLDA < 21 (OR=1.14, p=0.006 for women, interaction p=0.003), and no significant effect for men. Restricting the analysis to non-movers (Supplemental Table 1) resulted in an increased odds-ratio estimate for women (OR=1.20, p=0.002) and for the interaction term (p=0.0009). Replacing state-of-birth with state-of-residence as the predictor variable had little effect on the results (Supplemental Table 2). Likewise, these results were essentially unchanged after inclusion of education, or linear state-by-year interactions as covariates (results not shown).
