^*Models included positive life event impact rating score, negative life event impact rating score, Migration-Acculturation Stressor Scale score, age, marital status (married vs. unmarried), level of education (0–8 years, 9–12 years, at least some college), length of US residence, and General Ethnicity Questionnaire score. Beta estimate represents mean change in dietary outcome variable for each one-unit change in continuous stress variable score.

^**P-value estimated for cross-product term (centered, continuous General Ethnicity Questionnaire score x stress variables) in adjusted hierarchical regression models.
