Evaluating depressive symptoms among low-socioeconomic-status African American women aged 40 to 75 years with uncontrolled hypertension: A secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial
JAMA Psychiatry Apr 14, 2021
Gabriel A, Zare H, Jones W, et al. - Researchers conducted cross-sectional analysis of data from the Prime Time Sister Circles randomized clinical trial (PTSC-RCT) study with the aim to determine the prevalence of depressive symptoms among African American women with uncontrolled hypertension who use a federally qualified health center as their medical home. On the 10-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale Revised score, scores of 10 or greater were seem among 57.0% of the participants. Prevalence of depressive symptoms was higher among women with less than a high school diploma and women who smoked with chronic health conditions. Based on findings, they recommend clinicians to perform screening for depressive symptoms among low-income, midlife African American women with hypertension and provide and/or refer them to adequate mental health services.
