Neighborhood Deprivation, Trauma Profiles, Coping, and Stress Prospectively Predict Depressive Symptoms Among Young African American Mothers in the InterGEN Study: A Latent Class Analysis.
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
backgroundSystemic inequities lead to socioeconomic disparities and increased exposure to neighborhood deprivation among African American women, which in turn may have impacts on mental health. This study examined the individual and cumulative effects of neighborhood deprivation and experiences of trauma on depression among young African American mothers.
methodsWe conducted a longitudinal study using data from the Intergenerational Impact of Genetic and Psychological Factors on Blood Pressure (InterGEN) study. We analyzed demographic and psychological data of 248 participants in Southwest and Central Connecticut, employing descriptive statistics, latent class analysis, and regression analysis to predict depressive symptoms.
resultsIn unadjusted models, high potentially traumatic event (PTE) exposure, avoidance coping, and stress were statistically significant predictors of depressive symptoms across all time points. Once adjusted, avoidance coping and stress remained statistically significant at baseline; neighborhood deprivation, mid-level PTE, and stress remained statistically significant at T2; and only stress remained statistically significant at T3.
conclusionsThere is a critical need for a comprehensive approach to address systemic issues rooted in racism and strengthen community resilience to improve mental health among young African American mothers, their families, and communities. Interventions that build on existing community strengths, provide psychological support, and enhance individual coping skills may be effective in fostering resilience and improving mental health.
