TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Brief report: the modifying effects of education and income on Hispanics reporting perceived discrimination JO - Hispanic journal of behavioral sciences A1 - Cardarelli, Roberto A1 - Cardarelli, Kathryn Marie A1 - Chiapa, Ana Luz SP - 401 EP - 407 VL - 29 IS - 3 N2 - Research has shown that experiences of discrimination negatively affect health. However, little is known about whether socioeconomic position modifies the reporting of perceived discrimination. This cross-sectional study of 69 participants investigated the modifying effects of education and income on the reporting of perceived discrimination among Hispanics and Whites. Hispanics, compared to non-Hispanic Whites, of higher education (more than high school) and income ($30,000 or more per year) status are more than 4 times more likely to report perceived discrimination (odds ratio [OR] = 4.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.31-12.72; OR = 4.43, 95% CI = 1.41-13.93, respectively). However, this difference was nonsignificant among those with lower education and income levels (OR = 1.71, 95% CI = 0.27-10.92; OR = 1.71, 95% CI = 0.20-15.02, respectively). These results may affect future study sample and effect sizes.
