Abstract

Although the literature on the differences between Black people and White people in terms of differences in major depressive disorder and related self-reported symptoms is robust, less robust is the literature on how these outcomes are patterned within the US Black population and why differences exist. Given increased ethnic diversity of Black Americans due to increases in immigration, continued aggregation may mask differences between Black ethnic-immigrant groups and Black Americans with more distant ancestral ties to Africa (African Americans). The purpose of this narrative review was to comprehensively synthesize the literature on depression and related symptoms within the US Black population across immigration- and ethnicity-related domains and provide a summary of mechanisms proposed to explain variation. Findings revealed substantial variation in the presence of these outcomes within the US Black population by nativity, region of birth, age at immigration, and Caribbean ethnic origin. Racial context and racial socialization were identified as important, promising mechanisms for better understanding variations by region of birth and among those born or socialized in the United States, respectively. Findings warrant data collection efforts and measurement innovation to better account for within-racial differences in outcomes under study. A greater appreciation of the growing ethnic-immigrant diversity within the US Black population may improve understanding of how racism differentially functions as a cause of depression and related symptoms within this group.

种族与移民的交汇点:美国黑人抑郁症及相关症状的全面回顾。
尽管有关黑人和白人在重度抑郁障碍和相关自我报告症状方面的差异的文献十分丰富,但有关这些结果在美国黑人中的模式以及差异存在的原因的文献却不那么丰富。由于移民的增加,美国黑人的种族多样性也在增加,持续的汇总可能会掩盖黑人移民群体与祖先与非洲关系较远的美国黑人(非裔美国人)之间的差异。这篇叙述性综述的目的是全面综合美国黑人群体中与移民和种族相关领域的抑郁和相关症状的文献,并总结所提出的解释差异的机制。研究结果表明,在美国黑人群体中,这些结果的存在因原籍、出生地区、移民年龄和加勒比种族血统而存在巨大差异。种族背景和种族社会化被认为是重要的、有前途的机制,可以更好地理解出生地区的差异以及在美国出生或社会化的差异。研究结果证明,有必要开展数据收集工作和测量创新,以更好地解释所研究结果的种族内部差异。更深入地了解美国黑人中日益增长的种族移民多样性,可以更好地理解种族主义是如何在这一群体中作为抑郁症和相关症状的诱因发挥不同作用的。
