The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and predictors of depression and anxiety among urban Mexican American immigrant seniors. Three hypotheses were formulated: (a) Women would be more likely to experience symptoms of depression and anxiety than men. (b) Individuals with fewer years of education would experience more symptoms of anxiety and depression than seniors with higher levels of education. (c) Seniors living in the U.S. for more years, regardless of gender, would experience more symptoms of anxiety and depression than individuals living in the U.S. for fewer years. To recruit participants for the study multiple presentations were done and hundreds of fliers were distributed at a large Catholic church. Thirty one seniors completed the Geriatric Depression Scale (Short Form), a demographic questionnaire and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale. Eleven participants were males and 20 participants were female; they ranged in age from 60 to 94 years and lived in the U.S. between 3 and 55 years. There were no statistically significant differences in anxiety or depression in terms of gender, educational level or years of residence. Thus, the study's hypotheses were not supported. However, descriptive statistics indicated a number of interesting patterns that need to be investigated further. One major limitation of the current study is the small sample size. Although there were no significant findings, this study can open the door to promote larger scale studies of Mexican American seniors.
