Abstract

Objective American Indian populations have often been considered to be at greater risk for major depressive episode than are other groups in the United States. The American Indian Service Utilization, Psychiatric Epidemiology, Risk and Protective Factors Project (AI-SUPERPFP), completed between 1997 and 1999, was designed to allow comparisons with the baseline National Comorbidity Survey (NCS), conducted in 1990-1992. The prevalence of lifetime and 12-month DSM-III-R major depressive episode was compared between the AI-SUPERPFP and NCS samples. Method A total of 3,084 tribal members (1,446 in a Southwest tribe [73.7% of eligible participants] and 1,638 in a Northern Plains tribe [76.8% of eligible participants]) age 15-54 years living on or near their home reservations were interviewed. An adaptation of the University of Michigan Composite International Diagnostic Interview and the NCS algorithm for diagnosis were used to estimate the prevalence of lifetime and 12-month major depressive episode in these groups. Results The prevalence estimates for lifetime and 12-month major depressive episode were substantially lower in the American Indian samples, compared to the NCS sample. Detailed analyses indicated differential endorsement of lifetime symptoms between the American Indian groups and the NCS participants. Furthermore, American Indians were substantially less likely than NCS participants to indicate that depressive symptoms had co-occurred during an episode lasting at leas…

  • Because cultural adaptations that changed diagnostic criteria were not made, the measures may fail to capture some aspects of depression that appear in other cultures.

    “However, cultural adaptations that changed diagnostic criteria were not made and, thus, measures may fail to capture some aspects of depression that appear in other cultures (e.g., Beals et al., 2005).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
