ABSTRACT
Depression is a common disorder in the population, but some people are more vulnerable to this condition. Groups at higher risk of developing psychic suffering include black children and adolescents living in vulnerable socioeconomic conditions. This study aimed to analyze race and life conditions as determinants of depression in children and adolescents. This was a systematic review with meta-analysis. The study sources were MEDLINE Ovid, Web of Science, Latin American and Caribbean Health Science Information database, Science Citation Index-Expanded, PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus. The following keywords were used Child, Adolescent, Stress, Psychological, Depression, and African Continental Ancestry Group, using the logical operators AND and OR. The general criteria were observational studies published in the last 20 years. Language was not restricted to avoid possible bias in the selection of articles. Studies with a high risk of bias were excluded. General analysis was conducted with RStudio 3.0 software using odds ratio analysis with a 95% confidence interval and 0.05 significance level. We firstly found 654 studies, of which 18 met the criteria and were included in this review. Race and life conditions were determinants of depression in children and adolescents, with a negative impact for the black population.
