The objective of the current study was to examine the associations between the transition to fatherhood and depressive symptoms scores among Hispanic men. Using the sample of Hispanic men included in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, depressive symptom scores were examined from 1994 to 2008. A "fatherhood-year" data set was created that included the men's Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) scores as well as residency status with the child. By regressing age-adjusted standardized depressive symptom scores, associations between mental health scores of Hispanic men and their transition to fatherhood were identified. Among the 1,715 Hispanic men, resident ( n = 502) and nonresident ( n = 99) Hispanic fathers reported an increase in depressive symptom scores (CES-D) during the first 5 years after entrance into fatherhood (β = 0.150, 95% CI [0.062, 0.239] and β = 0.153, 95% CI [0.034, 0.271], respectively) compared to non-fathers ( n = 1,114), representing an increase of 10% for resident fathers and a 15% for nonresident fathers. Hispanic non-fathers reported a decrease in depressive symptom scores (CES-D) during parallel ages. Hispanic fathers, regardless of residency status, reported increased depressive symptoms in the first 5 years after the transition into fatherhood, a period critical in child development.
本研究的目的是检验西班牙裔男性成为父亲的转变与抑郁症状得分之间的关联。利用全国青少年健康纵向研究中纳入的西班牙裔男性样本，对1994年至2008年期间的抑郁症状得分进行了检查。创建了一个“为人父年份”数据集，其中包括男性的流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）得分以及与孩子的居住状况。通过对年龄调整后的标准化抑郁症状得分进行回归分析，确定了西班牙裔男性心理健康得分与其成为父亲的转变之间的关联。在1715名西班牙裔男性中，与非父亲（n = 1114）相比，有孩子同住的（n = 502）和没有孩子同住的西班牙裔父亲（n = 99）在成为父亲后的前5年中报告抑郁症状得分（CES-D）有所增加（β = 0.150，95%置信区间[0.062，0.239]和β = 0.153，95%置信区间[0.034，0.271]），这分别代表有孩子同住的父亲增加了10%，没有孩子同住的父亲增加了15%。西班牙裔非父亲在相同年龄段报告抑郁症状得分（CES-D）有所下降。无论居住状况如何，西班牙裔父亲在成为父亲后的前5年中报告抑郁症状增加，这是儿童发育的关键时期。
