Posttraumatic stress disorder in the World Mental Health Surveys (2017, background): “For example, in the USA racial/ethnic minority status is associated with decreased risk of developing a substance-related disorder, but increased risk of the disorder is becoming chronic (Breslau et al. 2005).”
Can social relationships explain the race paradox in mental health (2013, result): “I replicated past research showing better mental health status among Blacks (e.g., Breslau et al., 2005, 2006) but found little support for Stack’s (1983) ﬁndings of denser and more supportive family relationships among Blacks.”
Specifying race-ethnic differences in risk for psychiatric disorder in a USA national sample (2005, background): “Consistent with previous national surveys in the USA, data from the NCS-R indicate that Hispanics and non-Hispanic Blacks have lower lifetime risk of psychiatric disorders than nonHispanic Whites (Breslau et al. 2005).”
Prevalence and distribution of major depressive disorder in African Americans, Caribbean blacks, and non-Hispanic whites: results from the National Survey of American Life. (2007, background): “The National Comorbidity Survey (NCS) found that although blacks had a lower lifetime risk of mood disorder than whites, once diagnosed they were more likely to be persistently ill.(11) Ethnicity is a neglected dimension of the heterogeneity of the black population.”
Stress and the Mental Health of Populations of Color:Advancing Our Understanding of Race-related Stressors (2018, background): “However, when blacks and Latinos experience mental illness, their episodes tend to be more severe, persist for longer periods of time, and are more debilitating than for any other race or ethnic group (Breslau et al. 2005).”
Gender Differences in Depression in Representative National Samples: Meta-Analyses of Diagnoses and Symptoms (2017, unknown): “The limited research on ethnicity, gender, and depression in the United States does not indicate variation by ethnicity in the gender difference in depression (Barnes, Keyes, & Bates, 2013; Breslau et al., 2005; Oquendo et al., 2001; Siegel, Aneshensel, Taub, Cantwell, & Driscoll, 1998).”
