Abstract

Depression tends to be experienced across generations and among racial/ethnic groups through various pathways. However, little is known about racial/ethnic variations in the transmission of adolescent depression among different racial/ethnic groups. This study aims to investigate the intergenerational transmission of adolescent depression across three generations among White, Black, and Hispanic groups. Data were drawn from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study. This study used a nationally representative sample of 2,604 individuals. A multi-group serial mediation analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling. As hypothesized, adolescent depression was transmitted across three generations, from the maternal side. Furthermore, the intergenerational transmission of depression was identified as a sequential transfer from one generation to the next, as opposed to exhibiting a generation-skipping effect. However, no statistically significant racial/ethnic variation was found in the pathways of intergenerational transmission of adolescent depression. In conclusion, depression is a mental disorder that can be transmitted from one generation to the next, and its transmission pathway is shared and similar across White, Black, and Hispanic groups. Regardless of racial/ethnic group, the intergenerational transmission process of depression can be halted with the implementation of appropriate interventions and treatment.

青少年抑郁症代际传播的种族/民族差异。

抑郁症往往会通过各种途径在不同的世代和种族/民族群体中经历。然而，关于不同种族/民族群体之间青少年抑郁症传播的种族/民族差异，我们所知甚少。本研究旨在探讨青少年抑郁症在白人、黑人和西班牙裔群体中的代际传播。数据来自未来家庭和儿童健康研究。这项研究使用了2604个具有全国代表性的样本。采用结构方程模型进行多组序列中介分析。正如假设的那样，青少年抑郁症是从母亲那里遗传给三代人的。此外，抑郁症的代际传播被确定为从一代到下一代的连续传递，而不是表现出代际跳跃效应。然而，在青少年抑郁症的代际传播途径中，没有发现统计学上显著的种族/民族差异。总之，抑郁症是一种精神障碍，可以从一代传给下一代，其传播途径在白人、黑人和西班牙裔群体中是共享和相似的。无论种族/民族群体，抑郁症的代际传播过程可以通过实施适当的干预和治疗而停止。

期刊介绍： Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities reports on the scholarly progress of work to understand, address, and ultimately eliminate health disparities based on race and ethnicity. Efforts to explore underlying causes of health disparities and to describe interventions that have been undertaken to address racial and ethnic health disparities are featured. Promising studies that are ongoing or studies that have longer term data are welcome, as are studies that serve as lessons for best practices in eliminating health disparities. Original research, systematic reviews, and commentaries presenting the state-of-the-art thinking on problems centered on health disparities will be considered for publication. We particularly encourage review articles that generate innovative and testable ideas, and constructive discussions and/or critiques of health disparities.Because the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities receives a large number of submissions, about 30% of submissions to the Journal are sent out for full peer review.
