Depressive symptomatology among Hungarian youth: a risk and protective factors approach. 2003

Bettina F Piko, and Kevin M Fitzpatrick
Department of Psychiatry, University of Szeged, Hungary.

Psychosocial risk and protective factors were examined to assess their influence on depressive symptomatology in a sample of Hungarian youth. Self-esteem and being happy with school were significant protective factors; older girls (ages 16-20) reported the highest depression scores, and these scores varied significantly by self-reported problem behavior. These findings are discussed in the context of their clinical and practical implications for understanding depressive symptomatology in this understudied population of Eastern European youth.
