This study explores how neighborhoods are associated with symptoms of depression for unaccompanied children in the United States. Among children who experience symptoms of depression, more children report that their neighborhood does not meet their basic needs. The results can inform directions for future research and assessment strategies for clinicians.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
To learn how unaccompanied children report symptoms of depression in resettlement communities.
To understand how an unaccompanied child’s neighborhood is associated with symptoms of depression.
To understand how immigrant detention is associated with symptoms of depression.
