摘要

Adolescent depressive symptoms are a growing public health concern influenced by family and environmental factors. However, little is known about racial/ethnic variations in the interplay among neighborhoods, schools, discrimination, and family resilience. This study aims to explore these variations using data from the National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH). A nationally representative sample of 58,065 adolescents, comprising White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian groups, was analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression models were conducted to examine the main effects of neighborhoods, schools, discrimination, and family resilience, as well as the interaction effect of family resilience on these risk factors across the four racial/ethnic groups. The findings highlight that risk factors for adolescent depressive symptoms vary by racial/ethnic groups, emphasizing the need for culturally sensitive approaches. In particular, family resilience plays a key protective role in mitigating school disengagement among White and Asian adolescents and buffering the impact of racial discrimination for Black and Hispanic adolescents.
