To examine the longitudinal relationship between depression, delinquency, and trajectories of delinquency among Hispanic children and adolescents.
Propensity score matching is used to match depressed and non-depressed youth and a combination of group-based trajectory and multinomial logistic regression techniques are used.
After adjusting for pre-existing differences between depressed and non-depressed youth, the causal relationship between depression and delinquency and the association between depression and trajectories of delinquency appears to be largely spurious. However, the effect of depression on predicting a high rate and increasing trajectory of delinquency is robust.
Depression and high-rate offending are linked in a sample of Hispanic children and adolescents.
研究西班牙裔儿童和青少年中抑郁、犯罪行为以及犯罪行为轨迹之间的纵向关系。
采用倾向得分匹配法对抑郁和非抑郁青少年进行匹配,并结合基于群体的轨迹分析和多项逻辑回归技术。
在调整了抑郁和非抑郁青少年之间的既有差异后,抑郁与犯罪行为之间的因果关系以及抑郁与犯罪行为轨迹之间的关联似乎在很大程度上是虚假的。然而,抑郁对预测高犯罪率和犯罪行为轨迹增加的影响是稳健的。
在西班牙裔儿童和青少年样本中,抑郁与高犯罪率有关联。
