The Influence of Employment Status on Depressive Symptomatology of U. S.-born Mexican American Women
Depression is the leading disorder among mental health disabilities worldwide. Past research has indicated that women experience higher prevalence rates of depression than men, and Mexican Americans experience higher rates of depression than White Americans. This study examines the factors associated with depressive symptomatology in 80 U.S.-born Mexican American women in a rural Texas town. It is hypothesized that employment status will account for a significant amount of the variance in self-reported depressive symptoms beyond that accounted for by age, income, level of education, and partner status. The results indicate that employment status accounts for a significant amount of the self-reported depressive symptoms and also supports previous findings that education level has a significant impact on depressive symptoms.
