A cross-sectional field survey of 991 people in Tijuana, Mexico, a border city experiencing unbridled population growth, was designed to measure levels of depressive symptoms and identify correlates using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression measure (CES-D). Bivariate and multivariate analyses of the data indicate that similar variables are highly associated with depressive symptoms in the US and Mexico: low socioeconomic status, female gender, disrupted marital status, unemployment, and poor health. Risk-for-caseness is 19.1 per cent for males and 33.0 per cent for females.
墨西哥边境城市蒂华纳正经历着无节制的人口增长，针对该市991人开展了一项横断面现场调查，旨在使用流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）测量抑郁症状水平并确定相关因素。对数据进行的双变量和多变量分析表明，在美国和墨西哥，类似的变量与抑郁症状高度相关：社会经济地位低、女性、婚姻状况破裂、失业和健康状况差。男性的病例风险率为19.1%，女性为33.0%。
