Notes: Standard errors are shown in parentheses. Sample weights and CEM weights are applied. The rightmost contrast column shows which education differences are statistically different across race and ethnicity groups, with “B” signaling a statistically significant difference from Black women, “L” from Latina women, and “W” from White women. Data are multiply imputed (M = 10). The AMEs and their contrasts are calculated separately for Black, Latina, and White women and are based on the multinomial logistic regression estimates with CEM weights summarized in the online supplementary materials (Table E1).
