Abstract

Objectives: This paper investigates the trajectories of depression symptoms in adolescents and young adults, and explores factors associated with their depression. Method: For each respondent, three waves of data were collected in 2006, 2009 and 2013 from adolescents and young adults aged 10 to 24 years. The modified Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale was used to interview participants, while the generalised estimating equation (GEE) model was used to identify whether certain factors were associated with depression. Results: The mean depression scores in 2006, 2009 and 2013 were 29.76, 30.80 and 30.51 respectively. Compared to boys, girls reported higher initial levels of depressive symptoms. The depression score was found to be highest among adolescents aged 15 to 17 years. Depression among young people was associated with age, gender, marital status, education levels, general health and living location. Conclusion: Using longitudinal design, this research demonstrated the different trajectories of depression scores between boys and girls over time and provided evidence for interventions improving adolescent mental health in a semi-urban area of Vietnam.

越南快速城市化期间青少年和年轻人的抑郁轨迹:来自纵向研究的证据。

目的:研究青少年和青壮年抑郁症状的发展轨迹，并探讨其抑郁的相关因素。方法:针对每个被调查者，分别于2006年、2009年和2013年对10 - 24岁的青少年和青壮年进行三波数据采集。采用改良的流行病学研究中心抑郁量表对参与者进行访谈，同时采用广义估计方程(GEE)模型来确定某些因素是否与抑郁有关。结果:2006年、2009年和2013年的平均抑郁评分分别为29.76分、30.80分和30.51分。与男孩相比，女孩报告的最初抑郁症状水平更高。研究发现，15至17岁的青少年抑郁得分最高。年轻人的抑郁症与年龄、性别、婚姻状况、教育水平、总体健康状况和居住地点有关。结论:本研究采用纵向设计，揭示了男孩和女孩抑郁得分随时间变化的不同轨迹，为干预改善越南半城市地区青少年心理健康提供了证据。
