Abstract
This article examines the associations among environmental factors, healthy behaviors, and depression in a sample of adults with major disabilities. When sociodemographics and type and level of disability were controlled, environmental factors (e.g., access to care, contacts with friends, and experience of assault) and risk behaviors (e.g., tobacco use, marijuana use, and physical exercise) were significant correlates of depression. Public health practice and research implications are discussed.Keywords
