Longitudinal analysis of lifetime stressors and depression: Exploring intersectionality and tailoring social support for better mental health in a community population cohort

The findings of the study suggest more focused intervention programs and strategies for risk reduction should focus on identified characteristics and pay particular attention to the combined effect of lifetime stressors and discovered social identities.
