Exploring the relationship between adverse childhood experiences, ethnicity, gender and depression in South Asian communities and White British communities in the UK_Dataset

A growing body of evidence highlights the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and poor mental health outcomes, such as depression. However, studies exploring the intersection of ACEs, ethnicity, and gender are limited.This study explores the relationship between adverse childhood experiences, ethnicity, and gender on depression in South Asian communities (SACs) and White British communities (WBCs) in the UK.Participants will complete an anonymous online self-report questionnaire that includes questions from the Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (ACE-Q) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Multiple regression analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and depression. A moderation analysis was used to examine the interaction effects of ethnicity and gender on this relationship.

日益增多的研究证据表明，童年不良经历（Adverse Childhood Experiences, ACEs）与抑郁等不良心理健康结局之间存在显著关联。然而，针对童年不良经历、种族与性别三者交互关系的研究仍较为匮乏。本研究旨在探究英国南亚裔社群（South Asian Communities, SACs）与英国白人不列颠裔社群（White British Communities, WBCs）中，童年不良经历、种族与性别对抑郁症状的影响关系。研究参与者将完成一份匿名线上自陈式问卷，问卷包含童年不良经历问卷（Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire, ACE-Q）与患者健康问卷9项版（Patient Health Questionnaire-9, PHQ-9）的相关题目。本研究采用多元回归分析，考察童年不良经历与抑郁症状间的关联；并通过调节效应分析，检验种族与性别在该关联中的交互影响。
