Socioeconomic factors appear to impact mental health conditions such as depression, but little is known about the relative and combined role of neighborhood and personal socioeconomic deprivation among Hispanics/Latinos. This study examined cross-sectional associations of neighborhood and personal socioeconomic deprivation with depression symptoms in a US Hispanic/Latino population from the San Diego Field Center of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (n = 3,851). Depression symptoms were assessed with the ten-item Centers for Epidemiological Studies in Depression Scale. Neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation was a composite of eleven variables (e.g., neighborhood income, education, employment, household crowding). Greater personal socioeconomic deprivation based on education, income, and employment was generally associated with higher depression symptoms, including after adjusting for neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation. Greater neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation was associated with higher depression symptoms in females but not males, but the association in females became non-significant when adjusting for personal socioeconomic deprivation. Neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation did not significantly interact with personal socioeconomic deprivation in relation to depression symptoms. The present findings support the association of personal socioeconomic status with mental health (indicated by depression symptoms) among Hispanic/Latino populations, whereas neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation did not relate to depression beyond the impact of personal indicators.

西班牙裔社区健康研究/拉丁裔研究 (HCHS/SOL) 中成年人的邻里社会经济剥夺和抑郁症状

社会经济因素似乎会影响抑郁症等心理健康状况，但对于西班牙裔/拉丁美洲人中邻里和个人社会经济剥夺的相对和综合作用知之甚少。这项研究调查了来自西班牙裔社区健康研究/拉丁裔研究的圣地亚哥实地中心的美国西班牙裔/拉丁裔人群中邻里和个人社会经济剥夺与抑郁症状的横断面关联（n = 3,851）。抑郁症状使用十项流行病学研究中心抑郁量表进行评估。邻里社会经济剥夺是十一个变量（例如，邻里收入、教育、就业、家庭拥挤）的综合。基于教育、收入和就业的更大的个人社会经济剥夺通常与更高的抑郁症状相关，包括在调整邻里社会经济剥夺之后。更大的邻里社会经济剥夺与女性的抑郁症状相关，但与男性无关，但在调整个人社会经济剥夺后，女性的关联变得不显着。邻里社会经济剥夺与抑郁症状相关的个人社会经济剥夺没有显着相互作用。
