The present study found significant racial differences in both the levels and clustering of stressors. Blacks exhibited a higher prevalence of stress overall, and compared to Whites, multiple stressors were more common among African Americans reporting any stressors. American-born Hispanics had greater stressor exposure compared to Whites and foreign-born Latinos; their exposure level was comparable to that of Blacks. In contrast, foreign-born Hispanics had a stress profile similar to or lower than that of Whites.
