Table 2.

Differences in Mean Mention of Racism, Discussion of Ethical Issues, and Endorsement of Genetic Cause for Health-Related versus Other Types of Differences

	Mentions of Racism (N = 189)	Discussion of Ethical Issues (N = 189)	Endorsement of Genetic Cause (N = 229)^a
Health-Related Outcome	.51	.63	4.28
Non–Health-Related Outcome	.94^**	1.03^***	2.76^***

Racism and ethical issues were rated once per article, whereas endorsement of genetic cause could be rated for more than one racial difference per article, hence the difference in numbers. Analysis of endorsement of genetic cause used General Estimating Equations to account for the possibility of within-article correlations between ratings.
