Data from a community survey of depressive symptoms in a black community in Alabama are analyzed using a binary regression procedure to assess the effects of sociodemographic risk factors. These results are compared to two other studies of depressive symptoms in black communities using the same methods to assess the interaction of risk factors with community/region. Community/region is found to modify the relationship of sex, marital status, and income to rates of depressive symptoms within black populations. It is argued that this interaction is evidence of differential sociocultural processes operating in these communities. Suggestions for more detailed research on depressive symptoms in the black community are offered.
利用二元回归程序分析了阿拉巴马州一个黑人社区抑郁症状的社区调查数据，以评估社会人口风险因素的影响。将这些结果与另外两项使用相同方法评估风险因素与社区/地区相互作用的黑人社区抑郁症状研究进行比较。研究发现，社区/地区会改变黑人人口中性别、婚姻状况和收入与抑郁症状发生率之间的关系。有人认为，这种相互作用证明了这些社区中存在不同的社会文化过程。文中还给出了对黑人社区抑郁症状进行更详细研究的建议。
