NOTE: “Latino Representative Schools”= 8 schools that have at least 10% or more of population self-reporting as “Latino/Hispanic”.

NOTE: Due to non-response from some adolescents regarding disclosure, proportions for female disclosure are different within ethnic/racial groups.

NOTE: A higher mean from these four questions represented a higher level of school engagement (α=0.63).
