Discrimination and Depression among Urban Hispanics with Poorly Controlled Diabetes.

Objectives: We had three objectives for our study: 1) to describe the prevalence and burden of experiences of discrimination among Hispanics with poorly controlled diabetes; 2) to evaluate associations among discrimination experiences and their burden with comorbid depression among Hispanics with poorly controlled diabetes; and 3) to evaluate whether discrimination encountered in the health care context itself was associated with comorbid depression for Hispanic adults with diabetes.

Design: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data of a randomized controlled trial (RCT).

Setting: We collected data in the context of an RCT in a clinical setting in New York City.
