We examined the association between 2 important public health problems in the developing world: parental domestic violence and depressive symptoms during adolescence.
Data on depressive symptoms and witnessing of domestic violence were obtained during private face-to-face interviews conducted in 2002 with 2051 Filipino adolescents 17-19 years of age.
Symptoms of depression were common; 11% of young men and 19% of young women reported wishing that they were dead occasionally or most of the time, and nearly half of all respondents recalled parental domestic violence. Female adolescents had significantly higher scores than male adolescents on a 12-item index of depressive symptoms. Both male and female adolescents who had witnessed parental domestic violence reported more depressive symptoms.
Filipino adolescents who have witnessed parental domestic violence are significantly more likely to report depressive symptoms.
我们研究了发展中世界两个重要的公共卫生问题之间的关联：父母的家庭暴力行为与青少年时期的抑郁症状。
2002年，我们对2051名17至19岁的菲律宾青少年进行了面对面的私下访谈，获取了有关抑郁症状和目睹家庭暴力情况的数据。
抑郁症状很常见；11%的年轻男性和19%的年轻女性表示偶尔或大部分时间希望自己死去，近一半的受访者回忆起父母的家庭暴力行为。在一项12项抑郁症状指标上，女性青少年的得分显著高于男性青少年。目睹过父母家庭暴力行为的男性和女性青少年都报告有更多的抑郁症状。
目睹过父母家庭暴力行为的菲律宾青少年更有可能报告有抑郁症状。
