In effort to fill the research gap of depression among Asian American Adolescents, the purposes of this study were to examine parental involvement and depressive symptoms among Asian American adolescents. Analyses were conducted to determine the relation of age, gender, and parental involvement with occurrence of depression and depressive symptoms among Asian American adolescents. Other than individual effect of one factor, interactive effects of sex, age group, ethnic group and parental involvement were also examined to get more in-depth views on this topic.
A total of 540 respondents aged 12-17 who considered themselves as Asian American were selected from 2009 NSDUH regarding their perceptions of parental involvement and depression. Descriptive report and multiple logistic regressions were conducted and the results indicated that among Asian American adolescents, female adolescents not only had higher risk for lifetime MDE but also tended to report more depressive symptoms than male adolescents. Controlling for age and gender, adolescents with low parental involvement were at significant higher risk for MDE than adolescents with high parental involvement. These findings went along with previous studies and recommendations have been included for future studies.
