Keyword: Cultural Diversity

Abstract: This study examined sleep as a mediator between self-rated health and depression among 209 Latinos. Better self-rated health predicted improved sleep (B = .78, p < .001), which reduced depressive symptoms (B = .45, p < .001). Significant mediation (B = .35, 95% CI [0.11, 0.66]) highlights sleep’s importance.
