Built environment and Indigenous mental health service use
This study provides a systematic exploration of whether neighbourhood-level built environment factors are associated with mental health service (MHS) utilisation by Indigenous peoples in South-East Queensland, Australia, while controlling for individual socio-demographic factors. Using population-based Medicare microdata linked with administrative records, we quantify individual-level MHS utilisation and employ multi-level negative binomial regre…
Systematic review of available data and gaps on the prevalence of adults who require forensic mental health care in Australia
Employment disadvantage and associated factors for informal carers of adults with mental illness
These results highlight the employment disadvantage experienced by mental health carers compared to non-carers, and similarities in employment patterns across carers for different conditions. Improving the availability of paid support services for people with mental illness may be an important target to assist carers to maintain their own employment
Caring hours and possible need for employment support among primary carers for adults with mental illness
Intensive unpaid caring is associated with greater likelihood of not being employed, but impacts for mental health carers specifically remain unknown. This study aimed to: (a) examine the association between caring intensity and not being employed for primary mental health carers, (b) ascertain whether this relationship differs from that for other disability carers, (c) enumerate Australian primary mental health carers with a possible need for em…
Global Epidemiology and Burden of Schizophrenia
Introduction: The global burden of disease (GBD) studies have derived detailed and comparable epidemiological and burden of disease estimates for schizophrenia. We report GBD 2016 estimates of schizophrenia prevalence and burden of disease with disaggregation by age, sex, year, and for all countries. Method: We conducted a systematic review to identify studies reporting the prevalence, incidence, remission, and/or excess mortality associated with…
Hours of Care and Caring Tasks Performed by Australian Carers of Adults with Mental Illness
Applications of the epidemiological modelling outputs for targeted mental health planning in conflict-affected populations
Epidemiological estimates of mental disorders are key inputs into determining disease burden and guiding optimal mental health service delivery and can be used in target populations such as conflict-affected populations
The Rising Tide of Mental Disorders in the Pacific Region
Despite progress, poor performance of Pacific Island health systems continues to be highlighted by treatment gaps. Projecting burden of disease and the human resource requirements for mental health services will help appropriately plan for mental health in the region. We drew upon burden of disease and population data to estimate disability‐associated burden of disease from 2010 to 2050 for the Pacific region. Packages of care for low and middle …
Developing a Service Platform Definition to Promote Evidence-Based Planning and Funding of the Mental Health Service System
Ensuring that a mental health system provides 'value for money' requires policy makers to allocate resources to the most cost-effective interventions. Organizing cost-effective interventions into a service delivery framework will require a concept that can guide the mapping of evidence regarding disorder-level interventions to aggregations of services that are meaningful for policy makers. The 'service platform' is an emerging concept that could …
