Abstract

Depression is a very frequent mood problem and is expected to be the second biggest health care problem after heart disease in 2020 [1]. Prevalence and age of onset is rising in young people [2], [3]. A large study conducted in the United States showed that people of Hispanic origins had a higher prevalence of depression than Whites [4]. The reasons remain unclear; they might be caused by race itself or by contextual factors. However, other studies showed contrasting results: immigrants from Mexico had lower rates of psychiatric disorders than non-immigrants [5].The present study aimed at investigating the association between race and the prevalence of acute depression in Whites and Hispanic youth. Possible determinants besides ethnicity were also examined.
