Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine the social determinants of major depressive episode among African American and Hispanic adults. Methods: A secondary data analysis of the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health was performed in this study. African American adults (n = 4,825) and Hispanic adults (n = 6,199) completed the survey and . Approval to conduct this study was granted by the university’s institutional review board. Results: Results indicated 6.2% of African American adults and 7.4% of Hispanic adults reported a major depressive episode. African Americans at highest risk for major depressive episode were female, had a family income of less than $20,000, participated in a government assistance program, had good/fair/poor self-reported health status, and had used alcohol, tobacco and/or marijuana before age 21. Hispanics at highest risk for major depressive episode were female, had some college or more, participated in government assistance programs, had good/fair/poor self-reported health status, and had used alcohol, tobacco and/or marijuana before age 21. Results of this study should be utilized regarding efforts to encourage primary health education efforts with African American adults experiencing major depressive episode.
