A cross-sectional field survey of 991 people in Tijuana, Mexico, a border city experiencing unbridled population growth, was designed to measure levels of depressive symptoms and identify correlates using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression measure (CES-D). Bivariate and multivariate analyses of the data indicate that similar variables are highly associated with depressive symptoms in the US and Mexico: low socioeconomic status, female gender, disrupted marital status, unemployment, and poor health. Risk-for-caseness is 19.1 per cent for males and 33.0 per cent for females.
