Objective To explore the relationship between cumulative family risk and depression symptoms at 2-and 4-year fol-low-up among children and adolescents,so as to provide reference basis for promoting the mental health of children and adolescents.Methods Data were acquired from the China Family Panel Studies(CFPS)project in 2016(T1),2018(T2),and 2020(T3),which included 730 children and adolescents,their families and parents.The measurement tools included the Cumulative Family Risk Scales and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale(CES-D).Chi-square test and Logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between cumulative family risk and depression symptoms among children and adolescents.Results The de-tection rates of moderate and above depression symptoms among children and adolescents at T1,T2,and T3 were 14.4％,15.9％,and 24.5％,respectively.The prevalence of depression symptoms of children and adolescents at T2 was higher in females(19.8％)than males(12.5％)(x2=7.28,P＜0.01).Logistic regression analyses showed that the cumulative family risk at T1 positively predic-ted depression symptoms of children and adolescents at T1,T2,and T3(OR=1.73,1.32,1.38,P＜0.05).Conclusions The cu-mulative family risk has a long-lasting impact on depressive symptoms among children and adolescents after 2 and 4 years.Family and schools should pay attention to the changes in depression among children and adolescents,and provide timely intervention and assistance to promote their mental health development.
