Logistic regression should be used when the outcome variable is binary (such as in this case with presence or absence of depression) and there are multiple predictors (in this case, gender, ethnicity, and tobacco use). Hierarchical multiple regression could also be an option, but logistic regression is specifically designed for binary outcomes. Discriminant analysis and MANOVA are not appropriate for this type of analysis.
