Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine the longitudinal relationship between perceived racial/ethnic discrimination and depressive symptoms among adolescents living in the Cherokee Nation, as well as the potential moderating roles of race and social support. Self-reported survey data were analyzed from a sample of high school students (n = 1,622) who identified as American Indian only, American Indian and White, and White only. Compared to students who reported no discrimination on the basis of race, those who reported ever having experienced discrimination scored, on average, 1.62 units higher on the depressive symptoms scale six months later (p = .0001, 95% CI: 0.90, 2.33), while adjusting for age, race, gender, baseline depressive symptoms, enrollment in a free/reduced-price lunch program, and social support. Discrimination intensity did not significantly predict depressive symptoms among those reporting some frequency of discrimination. Race and social support did not modify either effect. These findings may inform development of interventions to promote mental health among American Indian adolescents.

生活在切诺基部落的青少年感知到的种族/族裔歧视与抑郁症状。

本研究旨在探讨切罗基族青少年所感受到的种族/民族歧视与抑郁症状之间的纵向关系，以及种族和社会支持的潜在调节作用。我们分析了仅被认定为美国印第安人、美国印第安人和白人以及仅被认定为白人的高中生（n = 1,622）的自我报告调查数据。与报告未遭受种族歧视的学生相比，报告曾遭受歧视的学生在六个月后的抑郁症状量表中平均得分高出 1.62 个单位（p = .0001，95% CI：0.90, 2.33），同时对年龄、种族、性别、基线抑郁症状、免费/减价午餐计划入学情况和社会支持进行了调整。在那些报告经常受到歧视的人群中，歧视强度对抑郁症状的预测作用并不明显。种族和社会支持对这两种效应都没有影响。这些发现可以为制定干预措施，促进美国印第安青少年的心理健康提供参考。
