Abstract

The current study used a person-centered analytic approach to identify distinct classes of depressive symptoms among Black adolescents in under-resourced, urban communities and examined demographic and contextual factors related to class differences. Participants were 403 Black adolescents (ages 11-15, 54% female) who completed self-report surveys. Latent class analysis identified three depressive symptom classes: A Moderate Anhedonia/Mild Dysphoric Mood class endorsing moderate affective symptoms with lower cognitive and somatic symptoms; a High Cognitive-Affective-Somatic class endorsing high cognitive, affective, and somatic symptoms; and a Mild Somatic Complaints class with moderate endorsement of somatic symptoms and lower cognitive and affective symptoms. Girls were more likely to be in the High Cognitive-Affective-Somatic class and the Mild Somatic Complaints than the Moderate Anhedonia/Mild Dysphoric Mood class. Youth with fathers who had higher levels of schooling were more likely to be in the High Cognitive-Affective-Somatic class than both the Moderate Anhedonia/Mild Dysphoric Mood and Somatic Complaints classes. Additionally, youth with more community violence exposure were more likely to be in the High Cognitive-Affective-Somatic class than the Moderate Anhedonia/Mild Dysphoric Mood, whereas youth with lower levels of community violence exposure were more likely to be in the Mild Somatic Complaints class than both the Moderate Anhedonia/Mild Dysphoric Mood and High Cognitive-Affective-Somatic classes. Finally, youth with more peer and family support were more likely to be in the Mild Somatic Complaints class than the High Cognitive-Affective-Somatic class. These findings highlight the heterogeneity of depressive symptom expression among Black adolescents and the importance of sociocultural considerations in clinical practice.

研究经济投资不足的城市社区黑人青年抑郁症状的模式:一个潜在阶层分析。
目前的研究采用以人为中心的分析方法,在资源不足的城市社区中确定不同类别的黑人青少年抑郁症状,并检查与类别差异相关的人口统计学和环境因素。参与者是403名黑人青少年(11-15岁,54%为女性),他们完成了自我报告调查。潜在类别分析确定了三种抑郁症状类别:中度快感缺乏/轻度烦躁情绪类别支持中度情感性症状伴较低的认知和躯体症状;高认知-情感-躯体类别,认同高认知、情感和躯体症状;轻度躯体症状类别,中度认同躯体症状和较低的认知和情感症状。女孩更有可能出现在高认知-情感-躯体类和轻度躯体抱怨,而不是中度快感缺乏/轻度烦躁情绪类。父亲受教育程度较高的青少年更有可能出现在高认知-情感-躯体类,而不是中度快感缺失/轻度烦躁情绪和躯体抱怨类。此外,与中度快感缺乏/轻度焦虑情绪相比,社区暴力暴露程度较高的青少年更有可能处于高认知-情感-躯体类别,而与中度快感缺乏/轻度焦虑情绪和高认知-情感-躯体类别相比,社区暴力暴露程度较低的青少年更有可能处于轻度躯体抱怨类别。最后,有更多同伴和家庭支持的青少年更有可能进入轻度躯体抱怨班,而不是高认知-情感-躯体班。这些发现强调了黑人青少年抑郁症状表达的异质性,以及临床实践中社会文化因素的重要性。
