少数民族身份被发现与青少年和成年人中更高水平的抑郁症状有关。本研究探讨了270名菲律宾裔美国青少年居住在农村和小城镇地区的夏威夷的抑郁症状（由流行病学研究中心抑郁量表：CES-D量表测量）率。CES-D得分与白色组的得分进行了比较，没有发现种族差异。与菲律宾男性相比，菲律宾女性被发现有更高的CES-D得分，在大多数CES-D项目的平均得分更高。少数报告企图自杀的菲律宾学生有中度至非常高的抑郁症状。没有种族差异可能是由于夏威夷独特的文化混合，那里没有单一的“多数群体”和高比率的文化互动。
Minority ethnic status has been found to be related to higher levels of depressive symptoms among adolescents and adults. The present study examined the rates of depressive symptoms (as measured by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale: CES-D Scale) of 270 Filipino American adolescents residing in rural and small-town areas of Hawaii. CES-D scores were compared with scores of a White group, and no ethnic differences were found. Compared with Filipino males, Filipino females were found to have higher CES-D scores, with higher mean scores on the majority of the CES-D items. The few Filipino students who reported attempting suicide had moderately high to very high levels of reported depressive symptoms. Lack of ethnic differences may be due to Hawaii's unique cultural mix, where there is no single "majority group" and a high rate of cultural interaction.
