Nationally representative sample of Latino adults ages 18+.
Abbreviation: CI, confidence interval; OR, Odds ratio.
Individual questions only asked among a randomized half sample of respondents. Logistic regression models also control for the following variables not shown: gender (male/female), age (18‐29, 30‐49, 50‐64, 65+), area of residence (urban, suburban, rural), whether you live in a neighborhood that is predominantly Latino (Yes/No), and US region of residence (South, Northeast, Midwest, West). Models for health care outcomes also adjust for insurance status (uninsured, Medicaid insured, non‐Medicaid insured). Don't know/refused responses coded as missing.
Jobs question only asked among respondents who have ever applied for a job.
Equal pay question only asked among respondents who have ever been employed for pay.
College application/attendance was only asked among respondents who have ever applied for college or attended college for any amount of time.
Housing question only asked among respondents who have ever tried to rent a room or apartment, or to apply for a mortgage or buy a home.
Ordinal logistic regression model with experiencing discrimination in 0‐7 institutional domains as the outcome; individual questions only asked among a randomized half sample of respondents, so the maximum number of times a respondent could report experiencing discrimination in institutional questions was 7.
