This study determined how multiple ecodevelopmental domains influenced dysphoria in a community sample of Latina adolescents. Risk factors tested include childhood maltreatment, parental alcohol‐related problems, and polysubstance problems. Protective factors include general self‐efficacy, social conformity, and family connection. Female participants ( N = 904) were recruited from the Los Angeles area. Many significant correlations were found between the ecodevelopmental domains and dysphoria. The strongest unique protective factor was family connection; others were social conformity and general self‐efficacy. The only unique risk factor that emerged was physical neglect. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
