A multilevel analysis of individual, health system, and neighborhood factors associated with depression within a large metropolitan area.
This study geocoded depression diagnosis and demographic data from electronic health records to obtain both individual and neighborhood factors related to depression. The researchers found higher depression rates associated with greater age, female gender, white race, medical comorbidities, and with lower rates of home owner occupancy, residential stability, and higher educational attainment, but not with economic disadvantage. Among the cohort, higher depression rates were associated with higher crime rates and a lower percent of foreign born residents and single mother households.
