Résumé
The present study represents an ex post facto non-experimental study of undergraduate nursing students (N = 1,176) residing in Mexico whereby we examined the association between substance use and depressive symptomatology. The sample was composed primarily of women (70.1%), between the ages of 18 and 23 years (89.5%). Outcomes suggest a significant association between current clinically relevant depressive symptomatology 3-month marijuana, alcohol, and sedative use. Additionally, current depressive symptomatology was significantly associated with lifetime alcohol and sedative use. Lastly, current depressive symptomatology was significantly associated with both moderate/high risk level due to alcohol and sedative use. The present study is innovative as it examines possible associations between depressive symptomatology and 10 classes of substances concurrently for a group that is largely understudied, further contributing to the international literature in this area. Findings are discussed with regards to study limitations.
