Table 6. Black vs. white difference: effect of adjusting for racial discrimination (RD)a and socioeconomic position (SEP)b, separately and jointly (imputed data).
| CVD outcome | Parameter estimate: for black vs. white | Model 1 | Model 2 | Model 3 | Model 4 |
| adjusting for: | (age + gender) | (RDa + corec) | (SEPb + corec) | (RDa + SEPb + corec) | |

| Hypertension | OR (95% CI) | 2.40 (1.77, 3.24) | 2.96 (1.72, 5.12) | 2.14 (1.55, 2.97) | 2.70 (1.53, 4.75) |

Note: models run (on the imputed data) for the total study population (504 black and 501 white participants), except for analyses for uncontrolled hypertension, which were restricted to participants with hypertension (315 black, 209 white); for estimating the black vs. white risk of the outcome, β = parameter estimate for linear regression, OR = odds ratio for logistic regression, CI = confidence interval; bold italic : 95% CI for β excludes 1 or 95% CI for OR excludes 1. Values for the Framingham scores are log transformed.
RD models: included interaction terms between race/ethnicity and each RD measure (explicit: EOD; implicit: IAT/black vs. white, IAT/me vs. them, and their interaction; structural: Jim Crow birthplace status); because none of the interaction terms were statistically significant, we report only the main effect.
Socioeconomic position: poverty, educational level (participant and participant's parents/guardians).
Core covariates: age; gender; socioeconomic position (poverty level: household and census tract, education: respondent and highest level attained by parents'/guardians); psychosocial (response to unfair treatment, social desirability); anthropometric (body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio); health behavior (smoking status; cigarette, food, or alcohol within 8 hrs of exam); for SPB only: taking anti-hypertensive medication.
