OBJECTIVE: To examine how depression is portrayed within a specific racialized group.
Manifest and latent content analysis of the three highest circulating magazines directed toward Black-American readers, Essence, Ebony, and Jet, from 2000 to 2007.
The findings demonstrate ambiguity and contradictions about depression's meaning and incidence, as well as the availability, accessibility, and suitability of medical treatment. All of these are linked to racialized identities among Black Americans.
Magazine portrayal of depression in these magazines can only be understood in the context of experienced racism, oppression, and ethnic identity among Blacks.
目的：研究如何在特定的种族群体中描绘抑郁症。
对面向美国黑人读者的三本发行量最大的杂志《精华》、《乌木》和《喷气机》 2000 年至 2007 年的显性和隐性内容进行分析。
研究结果表明，抑郁症的含义和发病率，以及医疗的可获得性、可及性和适宜性存在模糊和矛盾，所有这些都与美国黑人的种族化身份有关。
只有在黑人经历种族主义、压迫和民族认同的背景下，才能理解这些杂志对抑郁症的描述。
