A randomized prevention trial contrasted families who participated in the Strong African American Families Program (SAAF), a preventive intervention for rural African American parents and their 11-year-olds, with control families. This article focuses on the program's effect on primary caregivers' depressive symptoms. Among the 167 caregivers with elevated scores on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale, SAAF participation was associated with reduced depressive symptoms, enhanced parenting, and perceived improvements in youth behavior. Change in parenting (consistent discipline, youth monitoring, and open communication) but not change in youth intrapersonal competencies significantly mediated intervention effects on caregivers' depression. Results support the link between reduced depressive symptoms and stronger family relationships, particularly the importance of enhanced parenting efficacy in alleviating depressive symptoms.

一项随机预防试验将参加 “强非裔美国人家庭计划” (SAAF) 的家庭与对照家庭进行了对比,该计划是针对农村非裔美国人父母及其11岁儿童的预防干预措施。本文重点介绍该计划对主要照顾者抑郁症状的影响。在流行病学研究中心-抑郁量表得分较高的167名照顾者中,SAAF的参与与减轻的抑郁症状,增强的育儿能力和青少年行为的改善有关。父母的改变 (一致的纪律,青少年的监督和开放的沟通),但青少年的个人内部能力的改变却没有显着调节对照顾者抑郁的干预作用。结果支持减轻抑郁症状与加强家庭关系之间的联系,尤其是增强育儿功效对减轻抑郁症状的重要性。
