This study reports on the prevalence and correlates of perceived historical loss among 459 North American Indigenous adolescents aged 11-13 years from the northern Midwest of the United States and central Canada. The adolescents reported daily or more thoughts of historical loss at rates similar to their female caretakers. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that our measure of perceived historical loss and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale were separate but related constructs. Regression analysis indicated that, even when controlling for family factors, perceived discrimination, and proximal negative life events, perceived historical loss had independent effects on adolescents' depressive symptoms. The construct of historical loss is discussed in terms of Indigenous ethnic cleansing and life course theory.
本研究报告了来自美国中西部北部和加拿大中部的459名11至13岁北美原住民青少年中感知到的历史损失的患病率及其相关因素。这些青少年报告称，他们每天或更频繁地想到历史损失，其频率与女性照顾者相似。验证性因素分析表明，我们对感知到的历史损失的测量与流行病学研究中心抑郁量表是不同但相关的结构。回归分析表明，即使在控制了家庭因素、感知到的歧视和近期负面生活事件之后，感知到的历史损失对青少年的抑郁症状仍有独立影响。历史损失这一结构是根据原住民种族清洗和生命历程理论进行讨论的。
