“…Depressive symptoms in the past week, the focal dependent variable for the current study, were assessed using the 10-item version of the CES-D scale (Grzywacz, Hovey et al, 2006; Guarnaccia, Angel, & Worobey, 1989; Kohout, Berkman, Evans, & Coroni-Huntley, 1993; Magaña & Hovey, 2003; Radloff, 1977; Sandberg et al, 2012). The CES-D was selected because it is one of the most widely used measures of depressive symptomatology in community samples and has been found to have good internal reliability and construct validity among Mexican Americans, including samples consisting of primarily low-income crop workers (Casillas et al, 2012; Grzywacz, Alterman et al, 2010; Grzywacz, Quandt et al, 2006; Kohout et al, 1993; Ortega, Rosenheck, Alegría, & Desai, 2000; Vaeth, Caetano, & Mills, 2016; Wassertheil-Smoller et al, 2014). Crop workers first were asked if they experienced a depressive symptom in the previous 7 days, and if yes, they were asked how many of the past 7 days they experienced the symptom.…”
