Abstract
Differences between Anglos and Mexican Americans are examined for three measures of social support. Most initial ethnic differences disappeared when the effects of age, gender, education, income, and marital status were controlled. There were some differences in the pattern and magnitude of associations between measures of social support and demographic variables when analyses were stratified by ethnicity. Methodologic and substantive implications of the findings are discussed.
