| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS bR0xMh4T. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Depression prevalence was examined by race/ethnicity in a nationally representative sample. The Diagnostic Interview Schedule was administered to 8449 (response rate=96.1%) participants (aged 15-40 years). Prevalence of major depressive disorder was significantly higher in Whites than in African Americans and Mexican Americans ; the opposite pattern was found for dysthymic disorder. Across racial/ethnic groups, poverty was a significant risk factor for major depressive disorder, but significant interactions occurred be tween race/ethnicity, gender, and education in relation to prevalence of dysthymic disorder. |
