Note: N = 591 (self-image, social isolation), 590 (depression), 581 (math, GPA), 578 (science, GPA). White is the reference for race/ethnicity dummy variables and interactions. Other race/ethnicity is also included but not shown in the table. For each outcome, Models 2 and 3 are weighted by the transformed propensity score.
