Prevalence of depressive symptoms among Hispanic/Latino ethnic subgroups during the COVID-19 pandemic

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38509221/ Prevalence of depressive symptoms among Hispanic/Latino ethnic subgroups during the COVID-19 pandemic Hispanic/Latino populations experienced disproportionate exposure to depression risk factors during the COVID-19 pandemic. While aggregated data confirm the risks of depressive symptoms among Hispanic/Latino individuals, little research uses disaggregated data to investigate these risks based on ethnic subgroups. Using the "Understanding the Impact of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and Social Distancing on Physical and Psychosocial (Mental) Health and Chronic Diseases" survey, researchers in this study estimated the prevalence of depressive symptoms among Hispanic/Latino ethnic subgroups during the pandemic.
