Gabriel A, Zare H, Jones, et al. - Via this secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial, researchers sought to determine the prevalence of depressive symptoms among low-socioeconomic-status African American women aged 40 to 75 years with uncontrolled hypertension who use a federally qualified health center. In addition, they investigated risk factors linked with depressive symptoms. Scores greater than or equal to 10 were observed on the 10-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale Revised (CES-D-10) for a total of 57.0% of the women in the study (180 of 316). Findings revealed a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms among women with less than a high school diploma and women who smoked with chronic health conditions. Based on these findings, they emphasize screening low-income, midlife African American women with hypertension for depressive symptoms and providing and/or referring patients to relevant mental health services.
