Funded Activity Summary

Adolescent indigenous Australians suffer much higher rates of psychological disorder than other Australians. At present we have no evidence for any programs that reduce the risk of suicide, depression, or posttraumatic stress disorder in this population. This project will provide the first evidence of the efficacy of a indigenously-adapted form of cognitive behaviour therapy aimed to treat anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and hopelessness in Australian Aborigines.
