Notes: *p<.05, **p<.01, compared with white US-born. Superscripted numbers indicate significant differences among Latino subgroups (p<.05). Superscripted number 1 indicates that the coefficient for that group was significantly (p<.05) different than US-born Mexicans, superscripted number 2 indicates a significant difference from US-born non-Mexican Latinos, superscripted number 3 indicates a significant difference from Mexican immigrants, and superscripted number 4 indicates a significant difference from non-Mexican Latino immigrants. All estimates have been weighted using the L.A.FANS-2 sampling weights, and standard errors have been adjusted to account for clustering at the individual level. Missing data on covariates were imputed using imputation with chained equations in Stata. Because of the design of L.A.FANS, a sizeable number of respondents in Wave 2 were not interviewed in Wave 1. For these respondents, we include a flag in our regression models with covariaties to indicate that they were not interviewed in Wave 1.
