Analyses restricted to those that first met the DSM-IV criteria at least two years prior to the interview. ‡ Multivariate pairwise comparisons of ethnic differences in the chronicity specific disorders were not conducted due to the small samples. -- indicates that weighted estimates could not be obtained because none of the lifetime cases continued to meet criteria in the twelve months prior to the interview. Subscripts indicate pairwise comparison results using multivariate logistic regressions. Groups with different subscripts are significantly different from each other. For example, African American men had lower rates of persistent Generalized Anxiety Disorder compared to both groups of Caribbean Black men (a vs. b). However, the rates of persistent Generalized Anxiety Disorder were comparable between the U.S. and foreign born Caribbean groups (b = b). No subscript indicates that there are no significant differences in the rate of persistence across the three groups. SE—standard error.
