Socioeconomic and spatial distribution of depressive symptoms and access to treatment in Peru: A repeated nationwide cross-sectional study from 2014 to 2021
Depressive symptoms were concentrated among the poorest, whereas access to treatment was remarkably concentrated among the wealthiest groups. A clustered spatial pattern was observed, and similar high-risk areas were identified. Social policies that address unequal socioeconomic and spatial distribution in depressive symptoms and treatment are required.
