Abbreviations: DSM IV = Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition; WMH-CIDI = World Mental Health version of the World Health Organization’s Composite International Diagnostic Interview; U.S. = United States; S.E. = standard error. Pairwise comparisons of ethnic and nativity differences in the prevalence of psychiatric disorders obtained from multivariable logistic regressions. a Adjusted odds of meeting disorder criteria, compared to African American women, was statistically significant at p < 0.05. b Adjusted odds of meeting disorder criteria, compared to U.S.-born Caribbean women, was statistically significant at p < 0.05. c Multivariate pairwise comparisons of ethnic or nativity differences in the 12-month prevalence of specific disorders were not conducted due to the small samples.
