Text

For most stressors, the prevalence level was higher for Blacks and American-born Hispanics than for Whites and foreign-born Hispanics (Table 3, Column 1). The two exceptions were early life and employment stressors, where foreign-born Hispanics reported the highest prevalence. Columns 2–5 reveal the extent of clustering of stressors. For each racial group, we present (a) the proportion of individuals reporting each stressor and at least one additional stressor and (b) the mean number of stressors among those with two or more stressors. The co-occurrence of multiple stressors tended to be significantly higher among Blacks and American-born Hispanics than for Whites or foreign-born Hispanics. In addition, among those reporting two or more stressors, Blacks and American-born Hispanics reported a higher mean number of stressors than either Whites or foreign-born Hispanics, with Blacks on average reporting the highest.
