“…Adolescent depressive symptom trajectories, heterogeneity, and latent class analysis An increasing number of studies document that adolescent depressive symptom trajectories may vary across individuals [11,12] as well as unevenly across groups, with regard to both the initial level and change [13][14][15][16][17]. Also, consistent with developmental taxonomic theories, different groups of adolescents may follow different patterns of change in depressive symptoms over time [18,19].…”

“…At the most proximal, individual level, these include most prominently: female gender, ethnic minority status, cognitive/behavioral vulnerabilities, stressful life events, and social skill deficits (D'Imperio et al 2000;Gerard and Buehler 2004). Familylevel risk factors include: parent with the health condition, socioeconomic disadvantage, single-parent family structure, and deleterious family relationships (Costello et al 2008;Wickrama et al 2009). Community-level risk factors include: poor or violent neighborhoods and peer victimization/discrimination (Hull et al 2008;Walsemann et al 2011).…”

“…These risk factors likely have reciprocal relationships with one another; for example, having socioeconomic disadvantages as a family may lead to attending schools prone to violence and poor academic standards, which causes more stress and lower scholastic achievement. Demographic characteristics denoting social positioning, such as racial/ethnic minority status and female gender, are associated with additional risk factors, which often predict earlier and higher rates of depression (Wickrama et al 2009). Risk and resilience research must therefore take into account the importance of social position, social stratification (e.g., discrimination or racial segregation), and gender roles (Garcia Coll et al 1996;Nolen-Hoeksema and Girgus 1994).…”

We (1) review empirical studies that report findings regarding putative protective mechanisms when exposed to risk of depression in African American and Hispanic adolescents; (2) identify key protective mechanisms for different risk contexts that garner empirical support; (3) synthesize the mechanisms identified as protective against depression among racial/ethnic minority adolescents; and (4) discuss improved methods for advancing understanding of resilience against depression in minority youth. The studies were selected from PsycINFO searches that met the following inclusion criteria: participants between 12 and 21 years of age, inclusions of racial/ ethnic minority members, examining protection through an interaction with a risk factor, and outcome measures of depression, depressed mood, or depressive symptomatology. We found 39 eligible studies; 13 of which included multiple racial/ethnic groups. The following were supported as protective mechanisms, at least preliminarily, for at least one racial/ethnic group and in at least one risk context: employment, extracurricular activities, fatheradolescent closeness, familism, maternal support, attending predominately minority schools, neighborhood composition, non-parent support, parental inductive reasoning, religiosity, self-esteem, social activities, and positive early teacher relationships. To investigate protective mechanisms more comprehensively and accurately across individual, social, and community levels of influence, we recommend incorporating multilevel modeling or multilevel growth curve analyses and large diverse samples.

“…Effects of adolescent depression on young adult health outcomes have been reported previously. 18,[25][26][27][28][29] To our knowledge, this is the first study to report that youths who were both nicotine dependent and depressed in adolescence experienced the poorest health in young adulthood, underscoring the particularly deleterious effect of depression.…”

“…1,3,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Factors comorbid with adolescent smoking and ND, including substance use (alcohol, marijuana) and mental health problems (depression, anxiety, disruptive disorders), predict poor health in young adulthood. [15][16][17][18]20,[25][26][27][28][29] Parents can affect offspring health through genetic factors, physical and mental health, health behaviors, and socioeconomic status. 18,[30][31][32][33][34][35] Studies have found that parental health conditions directly predict poorer self-rated health in young adult offspring, and indirectly through offspring's health behaviors.…”

Introduction: To examine the prospective associations of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders nicotine dependence (ND) and other individual and parental factors in adolescence on self-reported health symptoms in early adulthood. Methods: Multiethnic prospective longitudinal cohort of adolescents from grades 6-10 and a parent (N = 908) from the Chicago Public Schools. Adolescents were interviewed five times at 6-month intervals (Waves 1-5) and once 4.5 years later (Wave 6). Parents were interviewed annually three times (W1, W3, W5). Multivariate regressions estimated prospective associations of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ND, other individual and familial risk factors in adolescence (mean age 16.6) on physical health symptoms in early adulthood (mean age 21.3), controlling for health symptoms in adolescence. Results: Levels of health symptoms declined from adolescence to early adulthood, except among dependent smokers. Nicotine dependent adolescents reported more health symptoms as young adults than nonsmokers and nondependent smokers, especially if depressed. ND and health symptoms in adolescence were the strongest predictors of health in early adulthood. These two adolescent factors, depression, and the familial factors of parental ND, depression and health conditions, each independently predicted health symptoms in young adulthood. Females reported more symptoms than males. Conclusions: There is continuity of health status over time. ND, depression, and parental factors in adolescence contribute to poor health in early adulthood. The findings highlight not only the role of adolescent behavior, but the importance of the family in the development of young adult health. Reducing smoking, particularly ND, and depression among adolescents and parents will decrease physical health burden.
