Text

Table 1 presents demographic characteristics and health outcomes by race. For all outcomes except poor SRH, Blacks exhibited the worst health profiles and foreign-born Hispanics displayed the best. Table 2 presents the number of stressors by race. Columns 1–3 show that the distributions of stressors varied by race, with the highest cumulative level of stressors among Blacks, compared to Whites and all Hispanics. Columns 4 and 5, however, reveal substantial heterogeneity with the Hispanic sample. Stress exposure among American-born Hispanics was comparable to Blacks, while foreign-born Hispanics had rates slightly higher but very similar to Whites.
