The study reported in this article examined the prevalence of mental health disorders and the sociodemographic factors associated with having a mental health disorder in a probability sample of 185 African American and white single mothers. Logistic regression analyses revealed that race (being white) and being on welfare were associated with increased risk of having a mental health disorder, when controlling for other sociodemographic variables. The association of welfare status and psychiatric disorders highlights the need for access to mental health services for this population. Implications for low-income women making the transition from welfare to employment are discussed.
本文所报道的研究调查了185名非裔美国和白人单身母亲概率样本中的心理健康障碍患病率以及与患有心理健康障碍相关的社会人口学因素。逻辑回归分析显示，在控制其他社会人口学变量时，种族（白人）和接受福利救济与患心理健康障碍的风险增加有关。福利状况与精神疾病之间的关联凸显了为这一人群提供心理健康服务的必要性。文中还讨论了低收入女性从福利救济过渡到就业的影响。
