NOTE: P = referent person; R = respondent; N/A = not applicable; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; SD = standard deviation. Subjective norms distributions for all reference persons differ by race/ethnicity (p < .001); all race/ethnicity–subjective norms interactions p > .05. Statistically significant ORs and CIs are shown in boldface.
