      ab: Part of a special issue on family caregiving for persons with disabilities. A study was conducted to examine how children with and without retardation contribute to depression in Latina mothers. Data were drawn from 148 mothers who had a child with mental retardation and a control group of 101 mothers whose child did not have mental retardation or any other diagnosed learning or behavior problem. Results revealed that Latina mothers who had children with mental retardation exhibited significantly higher levels of depressive symptomatology relative to Latina mothers who did not have a child with mental retardation. Furthermore, factors such as low family cohesion, poor health of the mother, absence of spouse or partner, less use of passive appraisal as a coping strategy, and presence of a child with mental retardation were all found to be predictors of depression in Latina mothers of children with mental retardation.
