This is a study of 1,001 male and female Mexican migrant farmworkers, ages 18 to 59, in rural central California. The Center for Epidemiological Studies–Depression (CES-D) scale was used to measure prevalence of depressive symptomatology and its distribution on demographic, social support, acculturation, and acculturation stress variables. CES-D caseness rates (≥ 16) were 21.1% for men and 19.7% for women. Logistic regression showed significant risk increments among respondents with high levels of acculturation (adjusted OR = 6.2) and stress due to discrimination (adjusted OR = 2.4). © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
