Wald chi-squared difference (X2) test compared Black non-Latiné and White non-Latiné participants on mean levels of substance use endorsement, experiences of racism, and protective factors. A significant p-value for the chi-squared difference (X2) test indicates significant differences across race. Students with other racial or ethnic identities were excluded from comparisons due to low rates (i.e., <5% of sample).
