520 $a African-American adolescent males, particularly those in urban settings, may be at higher risk for depression, yet many are not receiving care. This study examined how African-American adolescent males with depression seek help. Concepts from the Network-Episode Model were used to explore how social networks might influence the responses of this group to this condition.
520 $a A cross-sectional, exploratory/descriptive study combined quantitative methods and qualitative interviews to examine the role that social networks play in facilitating use or non-use of formal and informal mental health care among sixty-nine, low-income African-American adolescent males with varying levels of depressive symptoms. Subjects were recruited from five outpatient mental health settings (“in-treatment” sample) and four community-based programs that assist high-risk youth without providing treatment. This study sought to determine: (1) how social networks influence help-seeking; what social network characteristics differentiate depressed, African-American adolescent males in formal mental health treatment from those not in treatment; and what demographic and other background characteristics differentiate the two groups, and (2) to identify the processes used by depressed African-American adolescent males that constituted pathways to formal and/or informal care. Depressive symptomotology was assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D).
520 $a Although no significant differences were found regarding the social network influences for each group, trends in the expected directions were observed. Youths in treatment as opposed to those not in treatment tended to have smaller networks; received less support from networks; perceived less shame from networks regarding their use of formal services; and perceived that networks might find mental health services useful in addressing individuals' needs. Several themes emerged from the qualitative interviews regarding the influence of family members, particularly mothers, on the recognition and identification of mental health problems and their influence on the help-seeking processes related to problem resolution.
