Untreated depression among Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) participants greatly reduces chances of securing and holding gainful employment.
Logistic regression models were estimated on data describing 1,000 African American and Caribbean Black TANF recipients and 2,123 African American and Caribbean Black non-TANF recipients obtained from the National Survey of American Life (NSAL).
Black TANF participants were more likely than Black non-TANF participants to be depressed and treated. Treatment odds were lower for Caribbean Black than for U.S.-born Black TANF participants.
Results indicated that mental health treatment was likely among Black TANF participants if depression was identified. TANF participants working less than full-time did not receive as much treatment. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).
未经治疗的贫困家庭临时援助（TANF）参与者的抑郁症极大地降低了他们获得和维持有酬就业的机会。
使用来自全国生活调查（NSAL）的数据，对描述 1000 名非裔美国人和加勒比裔黑人 TANF 受助者和 2123 名非裔美国人和加勒比裔黑人非 TANF 受助者的数据进行了逻辑回归模型估计。
与非 TANF 参与者相比，TANF 参与者更有可能抑郁和接受治疗。与美国出生的非裔美国 TANF 参与者相比，加勒比裔黑人的治疗几率较低。
结果表明，如果发现抑郁症，黑人 TANF 参与者很可能接受心理健康治疗。工作时间少于全职的 TANF 参与者接受的治疗较少。
