abstract="PURPOSE To examine the longitudinal relationship between depression, delinquency, and trajectories of delinquency among Hispanic children and adolescents.  Methods Propensity score matching is used to match depressed and non-depressed youth and a combination of group-based trajectory and multinomial logistic regression techniques are used.  Results After adjusting for pre-existing differences between depressed and non-depressed youth, the causal relationship between depression and delinquency and the association between depression and trajectories of delinquency appears to be largely spurious. However, the effect of depression on predicting a high rate and increasing trajectory of delinquency is robust.  Conclusions Depression and high-rate offending are linked in a sample of Hispanic children and adolescents.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
