在目前的研究中，研究了被监禁的成年男性非裔美国人物质使用者的抑郁症状与物质使用的相关性。使用药物的频率进行了评估，12个项目具体到个人的物质使用。患者抑郁问卷（PHQ-9）用于评估抑郁症状。大约90%的样本表现出从轻微到严重的抑郁症状。回归模型显示，三个物质使用变量显示出抑郁症的显著预测因素，包括酒精（β = 0.16，p= 0.03），致幻剂（β =-0.17，p = 0.021）和摇头丸（β =-0.14，p= 0.05）。研究结果表明，需要考虑特定物质对抑郁症症状的作用。在监狱囚犯过渡规划的背景下讨论了结果。
Substance use correlates of depressive symptoms among incarcerated adult male African American substance users were examined in the current study. Frequency of drug use was assessed with 12 items specific to an individual’s substance use. The Patient Depression Questionnaire (PHQ-9) was used to assess symptoms of depression. Approximately 90% of the sample displayed symptoms of depression ranging from minimal to severe. Regression models revealed that three substance use variables demonstrated a significant predictor of depression, including alcohol (β = .16, p= .03), hallucinogens (β = − .17, p =.021), and ecstasy (β = − .14, p= .05). The study findings indicate a need to consider the role of specific substances with regard to symptoms of depression. The results are discussed in the context of transition planning for jail inmates.
