Black and Latinx Foreign- and US-Born Young and Emerging Adults Living with HIV: Examining Social Ecological Risk Factors and Their Association with Depression, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Comorbid Depression/PTSD.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis paper examines depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and comorbid depression/PTSD among Black and Latinx young and emerging adults (YEA) living with HIV. We incorporated a social-ecological framework to examine risk factors associated with mental health conditions, comparing foreign and US-born groups.
methodsWe used a hybrid recruitment strategy and surveyed 271 Black and Latinx YEA (ages 19-28 years) living with HIV in the Eastern USA. We used multivariable logistic regressions and hypothesized certain individual, interpersonal, community/societal risk factors would be positively associated with depression, PTSD, and comorbid depression/PTSD.
resultsParticipants experienced elevated rates of depression (33.9%), PTSD (34.0%), and comorbid depression/PTSD (19.1%). Contrary to our hypothesis, US-born participants had significantly higher rates of mental health conditions compared to foreign-born participants. At the individual-level, foreign-born was associated with lower comorbid depression/PTSD [RRR 0.38 (95% CI 0.15, 0.97)], cisgender with lower comorbid depression/PTSD [RRR 0.42 (95% CI 0.18, 0.99)], greater number of Adverse Childhood Experiences with PTSD [OR 1.18 (95% CI 1.08, 1.29)], and comorbid depression/PTSD [RRR 1.28 (95% CI 1.12, 1.47)], while moderate/high substance use with depression [OR 2.30 (95% CI 1.01, 5.25)] and comorbid depression/PTSD [RRR 3.74 (95% CI 1.07, 13.03)]. At the interpersonal-level, lower social support was associated with higher depression [OR 0.99 (95% CI 0.97, 1.00)], PTSD [OR 0.98 (95% CI 0.97, 0.99)], and comorbid depression/PTSD [RRR 0.97 (95% CI 0.96, 0.99)]. At the community/societal-level, discrimination was associated with higher depression [OR 1.05 (95% CI 1.02, 1.08)] and comorbid depression/PTSD [RRR 1.07 (95% CI 1.02, 1.11)]. IMPLICATIONS: Understanding social-ecological risk factors associated with mental health conditions of Black and Latinx YEA living with HIV is important in determining potential avenues for targeted prevention and intervention to improve mental health.
