Writing as/about Leisure
Leisure engagement is linked to well-being and social integration, which is important for older adults, who are particularly at risk for social isolation (SI). The aim of this study was to examine the meanings and importance of leisure across the life course. We conducted life history interviews with twenty-six older adults who participated in (primarily) library-based writing programs in Southern Ontario, Canada. We employed narrative inquiry to…

Computer therapy for the anxiety and depression disorders is effective, acceptable and practical health care
BACKGROUND: A 2010 meta-analysis of internet-delivered CBT (iCBT) RCTs argued 'computer therapy for the anxiety and depressive disorders was effective, acceptable and practical health care' without data on effectiveness or practicality in routine practice. METHODS: Databases, reviews and meta-analyses were searched for randomised controlled trials of cCBT or iCBT versus a control group (care as usual, waitlist, information control, psychological …

Development of a short form Social Interaction Anxiety (Sias) and Social Phobia Scale (SPS) using nonparametric item response theory
Shortened forms of the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS) and the Social Phobia Scale (SPS) were developed using nonparametric item response theory methods. Using data from socially phobic participants enrolled in 5 treatment trials (N = 456), 2 six-item scales (the SIAS-6 and the SPS-6) were developed. The validity of the scores on the SIAS-6 and the SPS-6 was then tested using traditional methods for their convergent validity in an indepen…

National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing
Objective: To provide a description of the methods and key findings of the 2007 Australian National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing. Method: A national face-to-face household survey of 8841 (60% response rate) community residents aged between 16 and 85 years was carried out using the World Mental Health Survey Initiative version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview. Diagnoses were made according to ICD-10. Key findings includ…

Displacement and Emplacement of Health Technology
The provision of "closer-to-patient" services has increased in most industrialized countries. However, the migration of services in non-traditional health care settings implies redefining the role of technical and human entities and transforming the nature and use of technologies and places. Drawing on various scholarly efforts to conceptualize space, place, and technology, this paper compares and contrasts satellite and mobile dialysis units imp…
Using the effect size to model change in preference values from descriptive health status
The performance of the K6 and K10 screening scales for psychological distress in the Australian National Survey of Mental Health and Well-Being
Background. Two new screening scales for psychological distress, the K6 and K10, have been developed but their relative efficiency has not been evaluated in comparison with existing scales. Method. The Australian National Survey of Mental Health and Well-Being, a nationally representative household survey, administered the WHO Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) to assess 30-day DSM-IV disorders. The K6 and K10 were also administe…
Short screening scales to monitor population prevalences and trends in non-specific psychological distress
Background. A 10-question screening scale of psychological distress and a six-question short-form scale embedded within the 10-question scale were developed for the redesigned US National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). Methods. Initial pilot questions were administered in a US national mail survey ( N = 1401). A reduced set of questions was subsequently administered in a US national telephone survey ( N = 1574). The 10-question and six-question …
Interpreting scores on the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10)
OBJECTIVE: To provide normative data on the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), a scale that is being increasingly used for clinical and epidemiological purposes. METHOD: The National Survey of Mental Health And Well-Being was used to provide normative comparative data on symptoms, disability, service utilisation and diagnosis for the range of possible K10 scores. RESULTS: The K10 is related in predictable ways to these other measures. IM…
Prevalence, comorbidity, disability and service utilisation
BACKGROUND: Health planning should be based on data about prevalence, disability and services used. AIMS: To determine the prevalence of ICD-10 disorders and associated comorbidity, disability and service utilisation. METHOD: We surveyed a national probability sample of Australian households using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview and other measures. RESULTS: The sample size was 10 641 adults, response rate 78%. Close to 23% report…
The psychometric properties of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview
The World Health Organization Composite International Diagnostic Interview short‐form (CIDI‐SF)
Data are reported on a series of short‐form (SF) screening scales of DSM‐III‐R psychiatric disorders developed from the World Health Organization's Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI). A multi‐step procedure was used to generate CIDI‐SF screening scales for each of eight DSM disorders from the US National Comorbidity Survey (NCS). This procedure began with the subsample of respondents who endorsed the CIDI diagnostic stem question…
The Defense Style Questionnaire
The Defense Style Questionnaire has proven of interest as the first questionnaire to reliably describe defense styles. The 72-item DSM-III-R-labeled Defense Style Questionnaire was administered to 388 controls and 324 patients. Eight statistical and two a priori criteria were used in choosing two items to represent each of the 20 defenses. A new 40-item Defense Style Questionnaire is published together with normative and reliability data on a nor…
Stress and the onset of agoraphobia
Recent investigations have suggested that agoraphobia develops in response to stress. The present controlled study was undertaken in order to evaluate the assertion that psychosocial and/or physical stressors precede the development of agoraphobia with panic attacks. Data on life events, chronic stressors, and physiological distrubances were collected from 51 agoraphobics with panic attacks who had had the disorder for between 1 and 5 years. The …
An overview of a behavioural treatment for stuttering
Stuttering can be successfully treated and treatment gains can be maintained in the long-term. Replicated results are presented that verify the above claim. Whilst replication has mostly occurred within the one clinic, similar programmes overseas have also demonstrated remedial effects of behaviour therapy for stuttering. An overview of the behaviour therapy programme is presented in an intensive cognitive-behavioural framework. Given the high in…
A scale to measure locus of control of behaviour
Many behaviour, psychotherapy and healthy life‐style programmes require subjects to take responsibility for the control of the old unwanted behaviours or to be responsible for maintaining new desired behaviours after therapy has ended. A scale to measure the locus of control of behaviour would be valuable if it could predict persons likely to relapse following apparently successful therapy. A 17‐item Likert‐type scale to measure this construct wa…

Life Event Stress, Social Support, Coping Style, and Risk of Psychological Impairment
The effects of life event stress, coping style, and social support on psychological impairment were examined in a survey of a representative Australian suburban sample (N = 863). Psychological impairment was defined as a score of 4 or more on the 20-item General Health Questionnaire. Life event stress, coping style, and one of the social support variates, crisis support, were related to impairment, significantly decreasing or increasing the risk …
