Logistic regression modelling was employed to analyse the associations between ethnicity and ethnic discrimination variables and the associations between ethnic discrimination and health/wellbeing outcome variables while adjusting for confounding variables.
Adjusted for ethnicity, age, sex, NZDep2006, food security, housing mobility Significant interactions between ethnicity and 'any ethnic discrimination' were observed for the depression (p = 0.009), smoking cigarettes (p = 0.04), and school achievement (p = 0.016) variables.
Testing for interaction between ethnicity and 'any ethnic discrimination' was undertaken for all outcome variables.
Ethnicity stratified associations between ethnic discrimination and the depression, cigarette smoking, and self-rated school achievement are reported.
Secondly, participants were asked about their experience of ethnicity-related bullying and ethnic discrimination by health professionals and the police.
While our study used 'any ethnic discrimination' rather than ethnicity-related bullying specifically, the international conclusions are consistent with our findings.
The prevalence of ethnic discrimination by health professionals, by police, and ethnicity-related bullying were analysed.
Students' experiences of ethnic discrimination in three settings were examined: unfair treatment by the police because of ethnicity, unfair treatment by health professionals because of ethnicity, and bullying because of ethnicity.
For example, the words ethnicity and discrimination were deleted from the questionnaire since they seemed to contribute to anxiety and confusion.
Further, they suggest that caste-, religion-, and ethnicity-based discrimination operates at public sector hospitals, leading women to seek care elsewhere.
