Key variables included a self-reported prior diagnosis of depressive disorder and the number of bad mental health days in the past month. Outcome variables were seven diabetes management behaviors, such as taking a diabetes management class and performing daily foot checks. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, chi-squared tests, ANOVA, and logistic regression models.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec015\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Among the participants, 24.8% were diagnosed with depressive disorder, and 19.5% reported at least 14 bad mental health days in the past month. Logistic regression models show that those reporting depressive disorders were significantly less likely to check their feet daily (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.34\u20130.92). Individuals with at least 14 bad mental health days were significantly less likely to have ever taken a diabetes management class (AOR\u2009=\u20090.59, 95% CI: 0.36\u20130.99) and check their feet daily (AOR\u2009=\u20090.37, 95% CI: 0.21\u20130.65) than those reporting no bad mental health days.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec016\">\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Depressive disorders and frequent bad mental health days were associated with lower odds of diabetes management behaviors among AI\/AN adults.
