Boldface indicates statistical significance (p < .05). Models estimated with weights to be nationally representative and 50 imputations to account for missing data on covariates. Model 1 includes key demographic covariates. Model 2 includes the addition of distal minority stressors (day-to-day discrimination in the past year; victimization since age 18).
