TI  - Correlates of depression in a representative nationwide sample of adolescents 
      (15-19 years) and young adults (20-24 years).

AB  - BACKGROUND: The authors investigated correlates of depression in a general 
      population sample of adolescents (15-19 years) and young adults (20-24 years). 
      METHODS: As part of the Finnish Health Care Survey a random sample of 509 
      adolescents (281 females, 228 males) and 433 young adults (224 females, 209 
      males) was interviewed in 1996. DSM-IIR major depressive episode (MDE) was 
      assessed by the University of Michigan Composite International Diagnostic 
      Interview Short Form (UM-CIDI SF). RESULTS: In multivariable regression analysis, 
      current smoking (odds ratio (OR) 5.54; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.44, 21.3) 
      and chronic illness (OR 3.77; 95% CI: 1.04, 13.7) associated with MDE among 
      adolescents. Among young adults, drunkenness at least twice a month (OR 4.48; 95% 
      CI: 1.44, 14.0) or once a month (OR 2.79; 95% CI: 1.14, 6.83), not being married 
      nor cohabiting (OR 3.50; 95% CI: 1.35, 9.08) and infrequent physical exercise (OR 
      4.01; 95% CI: 1.18, 14.0) were related to MDE. Female MDE associated with not 
      being married nor cohabiting (OR 3.56; 95% CI: 1.23, 10.1) and living in southern 
      Finland (OR 2.30; 95% CI: 1.06, 5.02). Drunkenness at least twice a month was 
      related to MDE among males (OR 4.54; 95% CI: 1.27, 16.3). CONCLUSIONS: Attention 
      should be paid to compromised health and health-related behaviour associating 
      with MDE in youth. Specifically, the association between smoking and major 
      depression in early adolescence should be borne in mind, and drinking habits or 
      frequency of drunkenness should be carefully noted.
