抑郁症的患病率、复发率和发病率在青春期和青年期对男性和女性来说都很高。在这项研究中，我们研究了社会环境变量，影响抑郁症的男性和女性从青春期到年轻的成年。而不是专注于单一的生态因素，我们研究了多个设置，包括家庭，同龄人，和邻里使用纵向数据从372个家庭生活在一个大的东部城市地区。我们发现，与抑郁症相关的变量不同的男性和女性取决于正在检查的发展时期。在青春期的家庭和同伴变量显着相关的抑郁症的变化在过渡到成年男性，而家庭和邻里变量是轻微显着的女性。成年期的家庭和邻里变量与女性抑郁症的变化显着相关，而同伴变量对男性和女性都显着。总体而言，在青春期的背景变量有更显着的影响，男性抑郁症的变化，而当代变量在年轻的成年有更显着的影响，女性抑郁症的变化。
The prevalence, recurrence, and incidence of depression in adolescence and young adulthood are substantial for both males and females. In this study, we examined social setting variables that influence depression in males and females from adolescence to young adulthood. Rather than focusing on single ecological factors, we examined multiple settings including families, peers, and neighborhoods using longitudinal data from 372 families living in a large eastern urban area. We found that variables related to depression differed for males and females depending on the developmental period being examined. Family and peer variables in adolescence were significantly related to change in depression during the transition to adulthood for males, whereas family and neighborhood variables were marginally significant for females. Family and neighborhood variables in adulthood were significantly related to change in depression for females, and peer variables were significant for both males and females. Overall, contextual variables in adolescence had a more significant impact on change in depression for males, whereas contemporary variables in young adulthood had a more significant impact on change in depression for females.
