Estimated prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities in U.S. adolescents with depression by race/ethnicity, 2011–2012
Journal of Adolescent Health May 23, 2018
Weller BE, et al. - Using data from the 2011–2012 National Survey of Children's Health, the researchers assessed the national prevalence of comorbidities for black, Hispanic, and white adolescents separately, and compared the prevalence of comorbidities between adolescents with and without depression. They examined differences in the prevalence of comorbidities by adolescents with and without depression for each racial/ethnic group by using weighted probit regression models. Important differences were detected in the prevalence of comorbid psychiatric conditions by race/ethnicity. The results obtained from the study highlighted the requirement for targeted interventions for black and Hispanic adolescents with depression that concurrently treat anxiety and behavior problems.
