Disability and depressive symptoms in two communities

TJ Craig and PA Van Natta

A community survey conducted in Kansas City, Mo., and Washington County, Md., revealed a significant association between symptoms of depression and self-reported disability. No demographic variables showed any consistent relationship to disability. The findings underscore the need for programs designed to identify and treat depression. In addition, any study using disability as an outcome measure must control for level of depressive symptoms.
