The prevalence of depression as measured by the Beck Inventory and the characteristics associated with depression among students in three Illinois public community colleges: The College of DuPage, Truman College, and McHenry County College

This study was designed to determine the prevalence of depression measured by the Beck Inventory (BI; Beck, 1978) and characteristics associated with depression among students at three Illinois public community colleges. As this was the first study of depression in this population, the colleges were selected to represent different types: (a) the College of DuPage is a large suburban college in a wealthy district; (b) Truman College is an ethnically diverse, medium-sized Chicago city college in an economically poor area; and (c) McHenry County College is a small college in a rural/suburban district.
