Note. All means are adjusted for age, gender identity, and sexual orientation identity. For tests comparing the racial/ethnic groups on internalized stigma, n = 129 for Black, n = 92 for Latinx, n = 82 for White participants; degrees of freedom are 2 and 296.

Note. Potential range for racial discrimination is 1-5, for child abuse experiences is 0-16, for witnessing violence between parents is 0-5, for internalized SM stigma is 1-4, for SGM victimization is 0-5, for social support is 1-7. Actual range for economic stress is −1.43-1.74.
