Survey on Racism, Discrimination and Health: Experiences and Impacts Across Racial and Ethnic Groups

Findings

1. To examine the relationship between variables of interest throughout the report, a series of logistic regression models were conducted to test whether these relationships hold after controlling for demographics. The demographic variables used across models include educational attainment, income, age, gender, LGBT identity, and region. Race and ethnicity were also included as control variables in the overall model. To test the same relationships within racial and ethnic groups, separate logistic regressions were conducted among Hispanic adults, Black adults, Asian adults, and White adults, controlling for the same demographics listed.
