N2 - The objective was to examine depression treatment among non-pregnant women, aged 22 and older, with hypertension, utilizing cross-sectional data from the 2006 and 2007 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. Depression treatment patterns by demographic, socioeconomic, health care access, and health characteristics were analyzed utilizing chi-square tests and logistic and multinomial logistic regressions. Overall, 23.9% had no depression treatment, 56.8% had antidepressant use only, and 19.3% had psychotherapy with or without antidepressants. African Americans (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.47), Latinas (AOR = 0.46), and uninsured women (AOR = 0.39) were significantly less likely to report any treatment for depression compared with Whites and those with private insurance.
