Start page 100306 End page n/a Language eng Abstract Water insecurity and other social-ecological factors may be associated with depression in low and middle-income contexts (LMICs). This is understudied among urban refugee youth in LMICs, who experience multiple forms of marginalization. We conducted a cross-sectional survey with a peer-driven sample of urban refugee youth aged 16–24 in Kampala, Uganda. We explored: the prevalence of depression (moderate, moderately severe); associations between social-ecological (structural, community, interpersonal, intrapersonal) factors and depression; and associations between an Index of Vulnerability (IoV) comprised of social-ecological stressors and depression. Among n = 335 participants (mean age: 20.8 years, standard deviation: 3.1), in multivariable analyses, longer time in Uganda, water insecurity, lower social support, parenthood, and recent intimate partner violence were associated with moderate depression; and longer time in Uganda, water insecurity, and lower social support were associated with moderately severe Keyword Depression
