Demographic variables were assessed based on wave 2 assessment, with categories chosen to be comparable with prior NESARC stigma studies (Keyes et al., 2010; Smith et al., 2010). Race/ethnicity was based on five groupings: White; Black; Native American or Alaskan Native; Asian, Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander; and Hispanic or Latino. Hispanic or Latino ethnicity was assessed separately from race, but respondents were classified as Hispanic or Latino regardless of race category. Categorical variables were used for age (<35 years, 35-49, 50-64, and >=65), education (less than high school, high school or GED equivalent, and greater than high school), and personal income (<$20,000, $20,000-$34,999, $35,000-$59,999, and >=$60,000). Gender was analyzed with females as the reference group.
