Symptoms of depression were quantitatively recorded using a rating scale, for 239 men and 260 women. The frequency the various symptoms similar sexes, with high anxiety, both psychic somatic. results show that depressive patients differ from those found in classic descriptions.
Implementation of targeted e-mental health interventions offers a promising solution to reducing the burden disease associated with youth depression. A single-group pilot study was conducted evaluate acceptability, feasibility, usability and safety novel, moderated online social therapy intervention (entitled Rebound) for depression relapse prevention in young people.Participants were 42 people (15-25 years) (50% men; mean age = 18.5 partial or full remission. Participants had access Rebound...
The primary objective was to determine the acceptability, feasibility and safety of a novel digital intervention (Entourage) for young people with prominent social anxiety symptoms, particular focus on engagement men. secondary aim explore whether associated clinically significant improvements clinical variables known co-occur anxiety.A multidisciplinary team comprising mental health clinicians, researchers, adult fiction writers, comic artist lived experience developed Entourage platform in...
Scale-up of malaria prevention and treatment needs to continue further important gains made in the past decade, but national strategies budget allocations are not always evidence-based. Statistical models were developed summarizing dynamically simulated relations between increases coverage intervention impact, inform a module Spectrum health programme planning tool. The dynamic Plasmodium falciparum transmission model OpenMalaria was used simulate effects scale-up insecticide-treated net...
ObjectiveThis article provides researchers with an illustrative guide for a workshop model that facilitates evidence-informed policy. The Policy Lab supports collaboration between experts and policymakers; in the example provided, participants considered digital technologies near-term potential to improve youth mental health care.MethodThe uses structured activities explore policy question, before narrowing focus on answers. barriers, enablers, implementation mechanisms of policies are then...
Introduction: Mental disorders are a leading cause of disease burden among those aged 10-24 years. diverse, complex and multifaceted, co-morbidity is common. However, fragmentation across multiple services sectors (health, mental health human services) results in gaps service provision. In the context ongoing reform Australia. Comprehensive evaluation whole care system critical for shaping policy ensuring efficient allocation resources. this paper we describe protocol population-based data...
Introduction: Mental disorders are diverse, complex, multifaceted, and co-morbidity is common. They a leading cause of disease burden in 10–24-year-olds. In Australia, fragmentation within across sectors (health, mental health human services) results gaps service provision increases this burden; there an urgent need for reform. However, we comprehensive robust methodologies to identify inefficiencies shape policy, ensure efficient allocation resources support those most need. Here describe...
Data linkage is a powerful tool for understanding the multifaceted needs and priorities of mental health care from perspective users providers. Its potential remains underutilised in Australian settings - Productivity Commission Inquiry into Mental Health 2020 highlighted significant gap: routinely collected administrative data are seldom leveraged research service evaluation. In this manuscript, we provide insights to how has been used research, type questions that can be addressed, steps...
Psoriasis is a common long-term, immune-mediated skin condition associated with behavioural factors (e.g. smoking, excess alcohol, obesity), which increase the risk of psoriasis onset, flares and comorbidities. Motivational interviewing (MI) an evidence-based approach to health-related behaviour change that has been used successfully for patients long-term conditions. This study assessed in clinicians' MI skills knowledge following Wellbeing (Pso Well® ) training.To investigate whether Pso...
Abstract Aim To describe the implementation and outcomes of a combined individual placement support (IPS) vocational peer work program for young people with mental ill‐health. Methods This uncontrolled pilot study co‐located IPS workers within two integrated youth health services (provided to clients aged 15–25 years old). Employment included job placements (working 15 hours or more per week in paid competitive open employment market) sustained (employed at least 26 weeks). Participants who...
Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) provision is a priority intervention for high HIV prevalence settings and populations at substantial risk of acquisition. This mathematical modelling analysis estimated the impact, cost cost-effectiveness scaling up oral PrEP in 13 countries.We projected impact between 2018 2030 using combination Incidence Patterns Model Goals model. We created four rollout scenarios involving three populations-female sex workers (FSWs), serodiscordant couples (SDCs)...
Suicide is the leading cause of death among young Australians, accounting for one-third all deaths in those under 25. Schools are a logical setting youth suicide prevention activities, with universal, selective and indicated approaches demonstrating efficacy. Given that international best practice recommends programmes combine these approaches, to date this has not been done school settings, study aims evaluate programme incorporating components schools.
We are developing an economic model to explore multiple topics in Australian youth mental health policy. To help make that more readily transferable other jurisdictions, we developed a software framework for authoring modular computational models (CHEMs) (the files implement models). specified user requirements for: simple programming syntax; template CHEM module; tools new modules; search finding existing supplying modules with data; reproducible analysis and reporting tools; maintain...
Abstract Aims The specific and multifaceted service needs of young people have driven the development youth-specific integrated primary mental healthcare models, such as internationally pioneering headspace services in Australia. Although these were designed for early intervention, they often need to cater with severe conditions complex needs, creating challenges planning resource allocation. There is, however, a lack understanding consensus on definition complexity clinical settings....
Background Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair aims to prevent premature death from AAA rupture. Elective is currently recommended when diameter reaches 5.5 cm (men) and 5.0 (women). Applying population-based indications may not be appropriate for individual patient decisions, as the optimal indication likely differ between patients based on age comorbidities. Objective To develop an Aneurysm Repair Decision Aid (ARDA) indicate elective optimises survival assess cost-effectiveness...
