To estimate the prevalence and identify correlates of depressive symptoms among immigrant Latino sexual minorities.
Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) was used to estimate the prevalence of depressive symptoms, and univariate and multivariable analyses were conducted to identify correlates of depressive symptoms.
Unweighted and RDS-weighted prevalence estimates of depressive symptoms were 69.2% and 74.8%, respectively. In the multivariable analysis, low social support, sexual compulsivity, and high self-esteem were significantly associated with increased depressive symptoms.
A need exists for culturally congruent mental health services for immigrant Latino sexual minorities in the southern United States.
