Funded Activity Summary

It is believed depression is increasing and Australia has many health interventions to help, but it is unknown if these are reducing depression prevalence. Two surveys have reported on depression in the past 10 years. One shows it is decreasing, the other it is increasing. This study will examine depression measurement in both surveys to find out why they disagree. The findings will have implications for future depression measurement and what health care interventions should be planned.
