CDC presents data by race and ethnicity on adult depression

A 2018 data brief published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) presents data by race and ethnicity on adult depression. This is their first report to include survey data for Asian Americans on this topic. 

While the prevalence of depression is comparable by gender, Prevalence of Depression Among Adults Aged 20 and Over: United States, 2013–2016, shows that both Hispanic and non-Hispanic black men have higher a prevalence of depression as compared to other races. People living below the federal poverty level also had a significantly higher prevalence of depression. Read the report here.
