对妊娠无并发症的非裔美国和西班牙裔女性 (N = 148) 进行了抑郁、社会支持和生活事件评估。超过一半（51%）表现出抑郁症状加重。总体而言，与之前的研究相比，女性获得的社会支持更少，负面生活事件更多。非洲裔美国人比西班牙裔美国人拥有更多实际的社会支持和支持网络中的人员。超过三分之一的样本（37%）在过去的一年里失去了一位重要的人。抑郁的女性比非抑郁的女性报告更多的负面事件。许多负面的生活事件和很少的社会支持使少数族裔妇女面临产前抑郁症的风险。
Depression, social support, and life events were assessed in a sample of African-American and Hispanic women (N = 148) with uncomplicated pregnancies. Over half (51%) showed elevated depressive symptoms. Overall, women had fewer social supports and more negative life events than found in previous studies. African-Americans had more practical social support and persons in their support networks than Hispanics. Over a third of the sample (37%) had lost an important person in the past year. Depressed women reported more negative events than nondepressed women. Many negative life events and few social supports place minority women at risk for prenatal depression.
