Evaluating a Codesign Process in Mental Health
An observational study of socioeconomic disparities in psychiatry consultation uptake in Australia, using routinely collected national data from 2015 to 2022
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with increased psychological distress and psychiatric service usage in Australia. Previous research into the first few months of the pandemic found severe inequality in telehealth psychiatry but no change in inequality for psychiatry service usage overall. However, it is unknown how inequality evolved over the remainder of the pandemic, as extended lockdowns continued in major Australian cities. Ai…
The relatives of people with depression
Being a close relative of a person with depression can take a heavy toll on the former, but these relatives are increasingly made responsible for taking on extensive carer roles. Research on relatives of people with depression is currently dominated by a focus on “carer burden” and although such a focus can explain many relatives' experiences and daily lives, it provides very limited insight into the everyday life of a person living with someone …
Equitable psychiatry, telehealth, and the Covid-19 pandemic
Background: At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was foreseen that the number of face-to-face psychiatry consultations would suffer a reduction. In order to compensate, the Australian Government introduced new Medicare-subsidized telephone and video-linked consultations. This study investigates how these developments affected the pre-existing inequity of psychiatry service delivery in Australia. Methods: The study analyses five and a hal…
Consumer Views and Experiences of Secondary-Care Services Following Refocus-Pulsar Staff Recovery-Oriented Practices Training
Despite staff undertaking the ROP training, all participants struggled to identify language and aspects of recovery in their interaction with the service, suggesting a need for staff to promote open, collaborative conversations around recovery. A specifically targeted recovery resource might facilitate such conversation

Mental Health in Australia
Australia's population level of psychological distress increased significantly from 2001-2017/18, with levels highest in women and with rates inversely associated with income. This is likely to be indicative of increased community rates of mental disorders. Given that this has occurred whilst mental healthcare expenditure has increased, there is an urgent need to reconsider how best to respond to mental illness, including targeting the most vulne…
Refocus-Pulsar Recovery-Oriented Practice Training in Adult Primary Mental Health Care
Objectives: Australian general practitioners (GPs) are pivotal in mental health care. The REFOCUS-PULSAR (Principles Unite Local Services Assisting Recovery) primary care study aimed to improve personal recovery outcomes in adults with mental health problems consulting GPs. Design: Modified from an intended stepped-wedge cluster study, an exploratory (pre- and post-intervention) design employed cross-sectional surveys of patients consulting GPs. …
Determinants of Mental Illness Among Humanitarian Migrants
Background: As refugee numbers grow worldwide, understanding prevalence and determinants of mental illness in this population becomes increasingly important. Methods: We used longitudinal data to examine the initial years of resettlement in Australian refugees with a focus on ethnic-like social support. Three annual waves from a longitudinal, nationally representative cohort of 2,399 humanitarian migrants recently resettled in Australia were exam…
Lower Income Levels in Australia Are Strongly Associated With Elevated Psychological Distress
Background: Australia is a high-income country with increasing income inequality. It is unclear whether Australia's well-developed mental healthcare system is making a difference to population mental health and the Federal Government has targeted outcomes accountability in service funding strategies. In high-income countries, evidence generally suggests that income inequalities increase mental disorders among the poor. This study examined psychol…
Regional Development Policies
Regional development policies aim to reduce socioeconomic inequalities by stimulating development and can apply to a subset or all of a country's regions. They redistribute public finance spatially; can be decentralized tools for area regeneration and geographically based instruments for growth; and can operate in globalized markets. They consist of priority objectives, a multigovernance implementation system, a dedicated budget and a set of pref…
Cognitive effects of MBSR/MBCT
Health Anxiety and Its Relationship to Disability and Service Use
OBJECTIVE: To explore the contribution of health anxiety to disability and use of mental health and medical services, independently of co-occurring mental and physical conditions. METHODS: Data from the Australian National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing 2007 were analyzed (n = 8841). Participants were aged 16 to 85 years (mean [standard deviation] = 46.3 [19.0] years) and 54% were women. RESULTS: Health anxiety accounted independently for …
Investigating the Relationship Between Comorbid Headaches and Depression
ObjectiveThree possibilities may explain headache and depression comorbidity: (a) headaches cause depression; (b) depression causes headaches; and (c) third variables cause both. Evidence supports all three possibilities. This study sought to examine which of these has the most support among a sample of people seeking psychological treatment.MethodThis was achieved firstly by establishing the order of onset of the most recent episode of headaches…
