NSPD scores (also referred to as K-6 scores) were transformed by taking the square root

Ref reference group, B beta, SE standard error

^*P < 0.05

^**P < 0.01

Model 1 Father figure

Model 2 Model 1 + everyday discrimination + self-esteem + mastery

Models were adjusted for age, education, marital status, employment status, and income quartiles

Analysis was not calculated for white men due to small cell frequencies among white men for the father figure measure
