dc.description.abstract | The main objective of this study was to examine the association between four types of adverse life events (family environment, separation, social adversity, and death) and the development of depressive symptoms among Puerto Rican youth. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | Depressive symptoms increased with an increase in social adversity, separation, death, and death events. Youth support from parents was a significant protective factor for all adverse events and parent coping was a protective factor in social adversity events. Relying on standard diagnostic tools is ideal to identify youth meeting the criteria for a diagnosis of depression but not useful to detect youth who present with subclinical levels of depression. Youth with sub-clinical levels of depression will not get treated and are at increased risk of developing depression later in life. Adverse life events are potentially relevant to use in conjunction with other screening tools to identify Puerto Rican youth who have subclinical depression and are at risk of developing depression in later adolescence. | en |
dc.description.sponsorship | Fellowship support from the Maryland Population Research Center (2010-2011) made the original exploratory research on residential mobility and depression possible. The Boricua Youth Study was supported by the National Institute of Mental Health through grant RO-1 MH56401 (Dr. Bird, Principal Investigator) and P20 MD000537-01 (Dr. Canino, Principal Investigator) from the National Center for Minority Health Disparities. | en_US |
