Interview instruments included the depression module of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) and Interview for Recent Life Events (IRLE). Associations between type of respondent and demographic variables were examined. Statistical comparisons were done for the two groups on other variables.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: Most depressed patients were single by marital status, lacked formal employment and had less post-primary education.They had experienced more life events; job changes, discomforting working hours, unfavourable working conditions, and job losses; personal health problems; loss of valuables; difficulties with intimate partners and family members' marital problems. Independent life events were more among depressed patients and clustered around work, health, bereavement and marriage. Most events reported by depressed patients had high negative impact ratings compared to controls.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion: Compared to healthy community controls, depressed patients reported more undesirable life events. The relationship between life events and depression implies that in PHC settings of poor countries, deploying mental health-oriented workers to manage life events may lessen escalation of distress.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0020764007083878","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,28]],"date-time":"2008-02-28T05:33:51Z","timestamp":1204176831000},"page":"144-163","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Life Events Associated With Major Depression in Ugandan Primary Healthcare                 (PHC) Patients: Issues of Cultural Specificity"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Wilson Winstons","family":"Muhwezi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, Makerere University,                         Kampala, Uganda,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hans","family":"\u00c5gren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Karolinska Institutet, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Section of                         Psychiatry, Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge, Stockholm,                     Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stella","family":"Neema","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Makerere Institute of Social Research (MISR), Makerere University,                         Kampala, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Albert","family":"Koma Maganda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Paediatrics Infectious Disease Clinic, Mulago Hospital, Kampala, Uganda                         Seggane"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seggane","family":"Musisi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, Makerere University,                         Kampala, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291796004163"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2850.2001.00354.x"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.150.2.235"},{"key":"atypb4","volume-title":"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Association","year":"2000","edition":"4"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0165-0327(85)90027-8"},{"key":"atypb6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291798006965"},{"key":"atypb7","volume-title":"Paper presented at the First Annual Scientific Conference 24\u201426 November 2005 On The Contribution of Research in Advancing Health Care in Uganda","author":"Birabwa, H."},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00127-004-0763-3"},{"key":"atypb9","unstructured":"Breslow, N.E.                  &                      Day, N.E.
