	African Americans	European Americans
Frequency of arts attendance	Coefficient (SE)	Coefficient (SE)
Baseline
Average level (Never)	0.192 (0.018)^**	0.279 (0.032)^**
Change in level (<10 per year)	0.057 (0.024)^*	0.059 (0.038)
Change in level (≥10 per year)	0.025 (0.027)	0.058 (0.039)
Follow-up
Annual Cog. Dec. (Never)	0.062 (0.003)^**	0.061 (0.008)^**
Change in CD (<10 per year)	0.012 (0.004)^*	0.006 (0.009)
Change in CD (≥10 per year)	0.014 (0.004)^**	0.019 (0.008)^*
