摘要	This article estimates the prevalence and correlates of antidepressant use by black and white Americans, using data from the Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys. Among individuals with depressive and anxiety disorders in the past year, black respondents (14.6 percent) had significantly lower antidepressant use than white respondents (32.4 percent). Higher depression severity was associated with more antidepressant use for white but not for black respondents. Antidepressant use was associated with medical conditions related to vascular disease, and use of antidepressants in these medical conditions was independent of coexisting psychiatric conditions. The results also indicate patients without a diagnosable psychiatric disorder use antidepressants frequently.
