这项对纽约市74名抚养孙辈的拉丁裔祖父母的研究发现，贫困率大约是全国祖父母照顾者的三倍，自我报告的健康状况不佳和抑郁症的比率是两倍。抑郁症的相关因素包括年轻、健康状况不佳、生活压力大、非正式支持少以及抚养有特殊需要的孙子。干预需求和未来的研究方向进行了讨论。
This study of 74 Latino grandparents rearing their grandchildren in New York City, found poverty rates to be roughly three times those of grandparent caregivers nationwide and rates of self-reported poor health and depression to be twice as high. Correlates of depression included young age, poor health, greater life stress, few informal supports, and rearing grandchildren with special needs. Intervention needs and directions for future research are discussed.
