Linear regressions to examine the whether youth stress from parental depression and youth coping were significant and unique predictors of symptoms of anxiety and depression are presented in Table 3. Youth stress associated with parental depression and youth primary and secondary control coping were significant independent predictors after accounting for youth anxiety symptoms. Disengagement coping was not a significant unique predictor of youth depressive symptoms. Youth anxiety symptoms were also a significant predictor of youth depressive symptoms. In total, youth stress associated with parental depression, primary and secondary control coping, and anxiety symptoms accounted for 49 % of the variance in youth depressive symptoms. In addition, current parent depressive symptoms were a significant predictor of youth depressive symptoms, indicating higher self-reported depressive symptoms in the parent predicted higher levels of depressive symptoms in the child.
