New findings are presented from a survey of depressive symptoms, illicit drug use, and suicidality among 4,157 adolescents attending school in six border cities in Texas and neighboring Tamaulipas, Mexico. Among the Texas youth, 48.08% scored above 16 on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies' Depression Scale (CES-D); 21% reported illicit drug use in the past month; and 23.43% said they had thought about killing themselves during the past week. Rates were lower among the Mexican youth: 39.41% had high CES-D scores; 4.95% reported drug use and 11.57% reported current suicidal ideation. Multivariate models are presented to show the linkage between psychological distress, drug use, and suicidality in this sample of border youth.
一项针对得克萨斯州六个边境城市以及墨西哥邻近的塔毛利帕斯州上学的4157名青少年的抑郁症状、非法药物使用和自杀倾向的调查有了新发现。在得克萨斯州的青少年中，48.08%在流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）上得分高于16；21%报告在过去一个月使用过非法药物；23.43%表示在过去一周曾有过自杀念头。墨西哥青少年中的这些比率较低：39.41%有较高的CES-D得分；4.95%报告使用过药物，11.57%报告目前有自杀意念。文中呈现了多变量模型，以显示该边境青少年样本中心理困扰、药物使用和自杀倾向之间的联系。
