使用来自三个合作的联邦合格卫生中心的基线数据，我们检查了与生活在亚利桑那州南部三个县（即，皮马、尤马和圣克鲁斯）。多变量线性回归模型确定了控制社会人口学特征的这一人群的抑郁症状的相关性。在206名参与者中，85.9%为女性，49%的年龄在45至64岁之间。有抑郁症状者占26.8%。据报告，身体疼痛程度较低，希望和社会支持程度较高。躯体疼痛与抑郁症状显著正相关（β = 0.22; 95%CI = 0.13，0.30）。相反，希望与抑郁症状呈显著负相关（β =-0.53; 95%CI =-0.78，-0.29）。更好地了解与墨西哥裔成年人抑郁症状相关的因素是必要的，以满足他们的心理健康需求，以及实现健康公平和消除美墨边境地区的健康差距。
Using baseline data from three partnering federally qualified health centers, we examined factors associated with depressive symptoms among Mexican-origin adults at risk of chronic disease living in three counties in Southern Arizona (i.e., Pima, Yuma, and Santa Cruz). Multivariable linear regression models identified correlates of depressive symptoms for this population controlling for sociodemographic characteristics. Among 206 participants, 85.9% were female and 49% were between 45 and 64 years of age. The proportion of depressive symptoms was 26.8%. Low levels of physical pain and high levels of hope and social support were also reported. Physical pain was positively and significantly related to depressive symptoms (β = 0.22; 95% CI = 0.13, 0.30). Conversely, hope was negatively and significantly associated with depressive symptoms (β = −0.53; 95% CI = −0.78, −0.29). A better understanding of factors related to depressive symptoms among Mexican-origin adults is necessary to fulfill their mental health needs, as well as to achieve health equity and to eliminate health disparities in the US–Mexico border region.
