Depressive Symptoms and Resilience among Pregnant Adolescents: A Case-Control Study by Danny Salazar-Pousada, Dalton Arroyo, Luis Hidalgo, Faustino R. Pérez-López, Peter Chedraui

“…Adolescents did however display lower resilience reflected by lower total RS scores and a higher rate of scores below the calculated median (P<.05). Logistic regression analysis could not establish any risk factor for depressed mood among studied subjects; however, having an adolescent partner (OR, 2.0 CI 95% 1.06–4.0, P=.03) and a preterm delivery (OR, 3.0 CI 95% 1.43–6.55, P=.004) related to a higher risk for lower resilience. …”
