Note. Normative is the referent for both heavy and moderate use. Hispanic was equal to 1 for individuals who responded yes to a question asking if they were of Hispanic decent and zero for those who responded no. Thus, the referent group for Hispanics was non-Hispanics. Because of their low substance use during emerging adulthood, Black was given a value of 1 and the referent group contained individuals who identified as Asian/Pacific Islander, White, and other.
