“…Two questions were used to assess parent alcohol use: ‘How often do you drink alcohol?’ with answers ranging from never to nearly every day and ‘How often in the last month have you had five or more drinks on one occasion?’ which defines binge drinking. Parents were asked to respond to one statement addressing anger/frustration: ‘I feel frustrated or angry’ with response categories of never, sometimes, always (Bacaner et al . 2002).…”

Findings indicate that when the youth agrees with a positive parent-completed PSC-17, there is higher parent frustration, lower parent-child connectedness, and the youth is more likely to have a diagnosis of an emotional or behavioural disorder. Thus, when possible, the use of both parent and youth as informants provides necessary information in formulating a comprehensive treatment strategy to address the psychosocial needs of youth.

“…Across multiple samples of men, the variables identified as potential predictors of IPV perpetration have been found to be quite broad, and have included: being young; being married to or living with a partner, or both; reporting a high number of sexual partners; having fathered 3 or more children; adhering to traditional gender norms and belief in male dominance; having antisocial personality characteristics; being an ethnic/racial minority; having a drinking or drug use problem, or both; having combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder; and experiencing current depression. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Some investigators suggested that many predictor variables (e.g., age, ethnicity/race) could be indicators for other more-primary variables such as socioeconomic status. 17 And there was contradictory evidence about some variables, such as race/ethnicity; for example, the 1992 National Crime Victimization Survey found no statistically significant differences in IPV victimization rates across ethnic groups.…”

This multicenter study estimated the prevalence of major depressive disorder (MDD) among emergency department patients in Latin America. To identify patients with MDD, we used a combination of DSM IV- criteria interview and a questionnaire screen including the center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. We analyzed data from consecutive adult patients from hospitals in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico and described the demographic and health status differences between MDD and non-MDD patients. Prevalence of MDD ranges from 23.0 to 35.0%. The estimates are based on a total of 1,835 patients aged 18 years and over, with response rates of 83.0%. Compared to non-MDD patients, MDD patients were more likely to be middle-aged, female, smokers, of lower socioeconomic status, and to report a diagnosis of asthma or arthritis/rheumatism. Multivariate analysis identified a lower level of education, smoking, and self-reported anxiety, chronic fatigue, and back problems to be independently associated with MDD. Our data suggest that the prevalence of MDD is elevated among emergency department patients in Latin American countries. The integration of depression screening into routine emergency care merits serious consideration, especially if such screening can be linked to psychiatric treatment.
