Predictors of depressive symptomatology among low-income teen mothers (N = 751) were explored. Younger teen mothers were not more depressed than older teen mothers. There was a significant interaction effect for partner status and ethnicity. For African-Americans, partnered teen mothers were more likely than non-partnered teen mothers to be depressed. For Latinas, partnered teen mothers were less likely than non-partnered teen mothers to be depressed. Future research should be conducted to examine how ethnicity interacts with predictors of depression.
对751名低收入青少年母亲的抑郁症状预测因素进行了探究。年轻的青少年母亲并不比年长的青少年母亲更抑郁。伴侣状况和种族之间存在显著的交互作用。对于非裔美国人，有伴侣的青少年母亲比没有伴侣的青少年母亲更易抑郁。对于拉丁裔，有伴侣的青少年母亲比没有伴侣的青少年母亲更不易抑郁。未来应开展研究，以考察种族与抑郁预测因素之间是如何相互作用的。
