Note. N = 9,765. Results based on pooled estimates across 20 imputed datasets. Effects of markers of vulnerability to stigmatization, prior measures of outcomes, and individual- and school-level controls included in for both continuous prejudice discrepancy model and discrepancy group model; due to space constraints, coefficients only presented for continuous prejudice discrepancy model (coefficients rather stable over time).
