Table 1.

Odds ratio summaries from three analyses, by Jim Crow status and race

Race
NBW FBW B
Non-Jim Crow Analysis 1 Ref 15.3 8.1
Analysis 2 Ref 14.5 7.9
Analysis 3 Ref 15.0 8.2
Jim Crow Analysis 1 4.5 15.8 27.4
Analysis 2 4.3 14.5 25.8
Analysis 3 4.8 16.7 30.0

NBW = native-born white; FBW = foreign-born whites; B = black. Analysis 1 is based on the empirical log odds. Analysis 2 is based on a multi-level model that assumes that the random effect distributions are identical for non-Jim Crow and Jim Crow states. Analysis 3 is based on a multi-level model with distinct random effect distributions for each of non-Jim Crow and Jim Crow states.
