Antidepressant Use in a Nationally Representative Sample of Community-Dwelling US Latinos with and Without Depressive and Anxiety Disorders
- In: Depression and Anxiety
- By: González HM, Tarraf W, West BT, Croghan TW, Bowen ME, Cao Z, and Alegría M
- Publisher: Wiley
- Published: 7/1/2009
This study compared antidepressant use among Latinos and Whites, using data from a nationally representative survey of the adult population.
The authors found that fewer Latinos with 12-month depressive or anxiety disorders report antidepressant use when compared with Whites. This trend was not explained by access to care or need. The sample seemed to largely reflect Mexican-Americans.
