Because we were using a common data set to replicate individual QRISs, we were not able to include all quality indicators used by a state, and in the case of family partnership or staff qualifications, our measures often did not align exactly with states' measures (see SM). For this reason, we removed identifying names of each state in the right side of the figure.
