Depressive symptoms in middle-aged inner-city African-Americans higher than expected

hospitalized in the previous 12 months.

"Identifying the risk factors in this population for depressive symptoms that diminish quality of life and lead to poor physical health is not enough. We have to design programs targeted at preventing depressive symptoms that specifically meet the health and cultural needs of inner-city African-Americans, which are not necessarily the same needs as inner-city Caucasians or of suburban or rural African-Americans," said Dr. Miller.

This paper is part of the African American Health study project, a population-based study of poor, inner-city St. Louis residents and of individuals living in a suburb just northwest of St. Louis. AAH is funded by the National Institute on Aging.

Dr. Miller is associate director of the Indiana University Center for Aging Research.
