Counts of SSD visits each day prior to the index diagnosis.

The black vertical line represents the estimated change-point separating the diagnostic opportunity window from the prior crossover period. The red line represents the expected level of healthcare utilization (i.e., estimated to occur in absence of diagnostic delays)
