Moving Beyond Moderation to Identify Differential Treatment Effects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Childhood Anxiety
Objective: Despite growing momentum towards personalised mental health care for children and adolescents, a central question remains unresolved: which treatment works best for which child, and under what circumstances? Identifying moderators of differential treatment effects is key to answering this question and guiding clinicians in tailoring interventions for childhood anxiety. However, progress has been hindered by conceptual ambiguity, incons…

A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial on the Effectiveness of the Building Educators' Skills in Adolescent Mental Health (Beam) Program for Improving Secondary School Educators' Confidence, Behavior, …
Secondary school educators are well placed to recognize and respond to mental illness in adolescents; however, many report low confidence and skills in doing so. A confirmatory cluster randomized controlled trial involving 295 educators (Mean age: 40.10 years, SD : 10.47; 76.6% female, 2.7% Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander) from 73 Australian secondary schools (22 in rural-regional locations) evaluated the effectiveness of a new professional …
Job Loss Due to Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic had a devastating impact on unemployment, which-compounded by the additional stressors associated with the pandemic-had considerable mental health impact. The current study examined the trajectory of mental health amongst those experiencing pandemic-related job loss, alongside the impact of risk and protective factors. Data were obtained from 374 Australian participants who were allocated to a waitlist control arm of a rando…
The effects of a sleep‐focused smartphone application on insomnia and depressive symptoms
BACKGROUND: Rates of depression are increasing among adolescents. A novel way to reduce depression is by improving sleep. We evaluated whether an app-based intervention for insomnia improved sleep and depression, and whether changes in insomnia mediated changes in depression. METHODS: We conducted a 2-arm single-blind randomised controlled trial at the Black Dog Institute in Australia. Adolescents 12-16 years experiencing insomnia symptoms were r…
Adolescent peer support for mental health problems

A randomized wait-list controlled trial of Men in Mind
Improved engagement of men in psychotherapy is an essential element in improving male health outcomes. This trial examined whether the Men in Mind intervention improved practitioners' self-rated clinical competencies to engage and respond to male clients in therapy. A parallel, single-blind, wait-list randomized controlled trial was conducted with Australian-based mental health practitioners, currently administering psychotherapy to males, fluent…

The effectiveness of an Australian community suicide prevention networks program in preventing suicide
This study found evidence of an average reduction in suicide rates following the establishment of suicide prevention networks in Australian communities. These findings support the effectiveness of empowering local communities to take action to prevent suicide
Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression
Importance Personalized treatment choices would increase the effectiveness of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) for depression to the extent that patients differ in interventions that better suit them. Objective To provide personalized estimates of short-term and long-term relative efficacy of guided and unguided iCBT for depression using patient-level information. Data Sources We searched PubMed, Embase, PsycInfo, and Cochrane L…
An analysis of the mental health trajectories of university students compared to their community peers using a national longitudinal survey
This study examines the mental health trajectories of future/current undergraduate university students relative to their age-matched community peers from the ages of 15 to 21. It analysed data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia survey. The sample comprised 442 students and 1292 peers. Mental health was assessed with the five-item Mental Health Inventory from the Short Form 36. The results showed that students generally ha…
Recovery for Carers of People with Psychosis
This longitudinal study using the sampling frame of the second Australian prevalence study of psychosis aimed to identify predictors of the health and well-being of care-givers of people with psychosis and inform social work recovery-oriented practice. Ninety-eight carers were recruited at baseline and seventy-eight re-interviewed after one year. Correlational and regression analyses were conducted to identify relationships between carer and serv…
Long-term Associations Between Physical Frailty and Performance in Specific Cognitive Domains
The findings suggest that frailty-related cognitive deficits may exist independently of mechanisms underpinning neurodegenerative disorders such as MCI and dementia. If confirmed, this finding suggests a new avenue for preventative and therapeutic interventions in clinical and public health contexts for older adults
Risk Factors for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Are Prevalent in People with Psychosis and Correlate with Impaired Social Functioning and Poor Physical Health
Australians with psychosis have high levels of sleep disturbance, including OSA. OSA symptoms were associated with cardiovascular disease risk factors, reduced social participation and employment, and poorer quality of life. Whether correction of OSA can improve these factors in people with psychosis remains to be determined

Item Bias in the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale
The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) is frequently used in studies of elderly individuals. One controversy regarding its use turns on the issue of whether the effect of physical disorder on the CES-D total score reflects genuine effects on depression or item-level artifacts. The present article addresses this issue using medical examination data from 506 community-dwelling individuals aged 75 or older. A form of structura…
