CSDE Affiliates Katarina Guttmanova (Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences) and Anjum Hajat (Epidemiology) recently published a paper with lead author Andrea Oliva (Seattle Children’s Research Institute) in Child & Youth Care Forum: Journal of Research and Practice in Children’s Services titled, “Depressive Symptoms Over the Course of Adolescence Among Latinx Children of Immigrants and White Youth From Small Towns in the United States.” Hispanic/Latinx make up 19% of the total population of the United States and are one of the fastest growing groups in the country. This growth has been notable among youth from rural and small-town communities and understanding mental health during adolescence in this population can have a significant impact on public health. In this paper, Oliva, Dr. Guttmanova, Dr. Hajat, and co-authors compare depressive symptoms during adolescence among Latinx Children of Immigrants, Latinx Children of Non-Immigrants, and non-Latinx White Children of Non-Immigrants from small towns in the United States.
