An in-depth comparison of well-being among Latinx and non-Latinx White adults: A cautionary tale

Abstract

Highlights: Optimizing Latinos’ health and well-being is a crucial preventive medicine effort. Understanding group differences can inform future research and public health efforts. Latinos vs non-Latinos differed in physical health, stress, and religiosity. Matched Latinos samples also differed significantly in four well-being domains. Our methods offer guidance for examining multi-ethnic differences in well-being.
