Twenty age- and gender-matched subjects from each ethnic group who met criteria for a major depression were assessed with structured interviews, and their depression was evaluated with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D). Overall severity of the depression was comparable between groups. When the individual HAM-D items were grouped into factors, Whites showed significantly more articulated/observed mood and anxiety symptoms, whereas African Americans had significantly more diurnal variation to their depression. There were no differences on other neurovegetative symptoms. These results are discussed in the context of past studies, which often used very heterogeneous populations not matched for socioeconomic status, and included those with comorbid psychiatric and medical illnesses.

The findings suggest that when the calamity fears of youth are high, their anger experience and expression is minimized. This finding was prominent for adolescents living in high-risk neighborhoods. Kinship social support showed a positive relationship to anger suppression for youth in high-risk environments.

The Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) was administered in two interview formats: a speech recognition program presented by cellular telephone, and a face-to-face method. In a single-session counterbalanced design, 32 English speakers and 23 Spanish speakers completed randomly ordered administrations of the two CES-D methods, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Short Acculturation Scale (SAS). There was strong evidence that the two CES-D methods were psychometrically equivalent, reliable, and valid in both languages. The two methods were highly rated by both language groups. The Spanish speakers did not display a preference for either method, but the English speakers preferred the face-to-face method. The results also suggested that verbal response latency time was positively correlated with depression scores. Last, the Spanish-speakers' acculturation levels were not correlated with depression scores. Differences in age, education, and income between the language groups were confounded by unequal sample sizes. The findings generally supported the viability of the automated CES-D as a culturally and linguistically appropriate tool for screening depression in English and Spanish.
