Describe how a nurse practitioners scope of practice can differ across the states in the US. What scope of practice do

Your reflection response is to be written in prose, but no more than 500 words single spaced.

You may not include any direct quotes, or you will get no credit.

Include a citation referencing the assigned paper using the proper format (economists often use Chicago stylein the text include the authors name and publication year such as Abrams, Clarke, and Mehta (2021) and Chicago for the reference listed at the end).

As with all of your work, please write clearly and concisely.

In your prose, be sure to address the following questions:

1. What research question do the authors examine in this paper?
2. How do the authors measure the mental health outcomes?
   
   

3. Describe the contributions from the prior literature the authors make.
4. Describe the training required to be a nurse practitioner.
5. Describe how a nurse practitioners scope of practice can differ across the states in the US.
6. What scope of practice do the authors focus on in this study?
7. What seven sources of data do the authors use to examine these questions?

8. Explain why the authors examine areas that could be considered underserved and how they define underserved in the data. What share of the US population lives in an underserved area?
   

9. How do the authors measure mental-health related deaths?
10. Describe the unadjusted event study results depicted for mental-health related deaths in Figure 3. How do the effects differ in underserved versus not underserved areas?
    

11. How do the authors measure self-reports of mental health?
    

12. Interpret Figure 4 
13. How do the authors measure the prescription outcomes?
14. Interpret Figure 5
    

15. Interpret the sign and significance of the coefficient estimate independent prescriptive authority and independent prescriptive authority x underserved in Table 4, columns 2, 3, 5, and 6.
16. Interpret the sign and significance of the coefficient estimates on Indep. Prescriptive authority and Indep. Rx x underserved in Table 5, columns 2, 3, 5, and 6.
17. Interpret the sign and significance of the coefficient estimates on Indep. Prescriptive authority and Indep Rx x underserved in columns 2, 4, and 6.
18. How many deaths do the authors were estimated to be averted due to independent prescribing authority (in 2014)?
