Depression in Guatemalan adolescents.

Abstract

A sample of 339 adolescents from the school population of three social classes in Guatemala City were administered a modified version of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC-M). Of the total sample, 35.1% were found to be depressed. A two-way analysis of variance (gender by social class) showed differences which approached statistical significance and reflected a significant main effect of gender but not social class. Implications of the findings are discussed.
