Considering poor SRH, after adjustment for SES (Model 2a), coefficient estimates for Blacks and American-born Hispanics were reduced by close to half, and the effect for foreign-born Hispanics was attenuated to nonsignificance. With the addition of stressors (Model 3a), the coefficients for Blacks and American-born Hispanics were reduced by another 40%, with the elevated risk for the latter group no longer significant. Interestingly, the coefficients for income were also reduced substantially in Model 3, suggesting that at least part of the SES effects were due to stress-related factors. For depressive symptoms, adjustment for SES reduced the coefficient for Blacks to borderline significance, and the coefficient for American-born Hispanics to nonsignificance. Further adjustment for stress domains did not substantively change these coefficients (Model 3b). For foreign-born Hispanics, controlling for SES widened the health advantage for depressive symptoms; after adjustment for stressors, the health advantage slightly decreased but remained significant. Once again, accounting for stress attenuated some of the effect size for SES.
