Racial differences in exposure to family stressors were assessed using a series of two-level logistic multilevel models, such as the following: (1)Level1:FAMILYSTRESSORdi=β0i (2)Level2:β0i=δ00+δ01(RACEi)+U0i where, at the within-person Level 1, FAMILY STRESSORdi indicates the log odds of the probability of family stress (pdi), Family Stressdi = ln(pdi/1−pdi) Personi reported a Family Stressor on Dayd (coded 0 if no family stressor occurred, and 1 if a family stressor occurred). The intercept (β0i) reflects the proportion of study days that Personi experienced a family stressor. At the between-subject Level 2, the odds of exposure are modeled as a function of an intercept and race. The δ01 coefficient is used as an estimate of racial differences in family stressor exposure.
