We identified developmental trajectories of depressive symptoms among 674 Indigenous adolescents (M = 11.10, SD = 0.83 years) progressing from early to late adolescence. Four depressive symptoms trajectories were identified: (a) sustained low, (b) initially low but increasing, (c) initially high but decreasing, and (d) sustained high levels of depressive symptoms. Trajectory group membership varied as a function of gender, pubertal development, caregiver major depression, and perceived discrimination. Moreover, participants in the different trajectory groups were at differential risk for the development of an alcohol use disorder. These results highlight the benefit of examining the development of depressive symptoms and the unique ways that depressive symptoms develop among North American Indigenous youth as they progress through adolescence.
我们在从青春期早期到晚期的 674 名土著青少年（M = 11.10，SD = 0.83 岁）中确定了抑郁症状的发展轨迹。确定了四种抑郁症状轨迹：（a）持续低度，（b）最初低度但增加，（c）最初高度但减少，和（d）持续高度的抑郁症状。轨迹组的成员资格因性别、青春期发育、照顾者重度抑郁症和感知歧视而异。此外，不同轨迹组的参与者发生酒精使用障碍的风险不同。这些结果强调了检查北美的发展性抑郁症状和独特方式的益处，因为他们在青春期发育过程中发展抑郁症状。土着青年。
