Non-Hispanic Black race/ethnicity was associated with improved retention (odds ratio [OR] 1⁄4 2.44, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.06-5.75, p 0.05) when compared to Non-Hispanic White persons. Black-Hispanic and Other racial/ethnic identities were associated with increased retention (OR 1⁄4 4.84, 95%CI: 1.16-25.79, p 0.05 and OR 1⁄4 7.24, 95%CI: 1.54-54.05, p 0.05, respectively) when compared to Non-Hispanic White persons.
