Abstract
Research has begun to clarify links between discrimination and health, but important gaps remain. A more complete understanding may arise from data on both frequency of discrimination as well as the various forms of discrimination. Using unique Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) Transition to Adulthood Supplement (TAS) data on a representative sample of young adults from the 2017 and 2019 waves, we consider frequency and forms of discrimination separately and in tandem. Using generalized estimating equations panel models, we find that the association between discrimination and health is more pronounced when the frequency of, and the number of reasons for, discriminatory experiences are considered together. For example, relative to experiencing no discrimination, perceiving frequent discrimination and for three or more reasons results in nearly three times higher odds of poor/fair self-rated health and 1.25 points lower on the languishing/flourishing scale. The impact of perceived discrimination on health is likely underestimated if frequency and rationale are not considered as a holistic experience.
