The burden and risk factors of depressive disorders in Indigenous Australians: Implications for early detection and prevention [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Alize Ferrari (Principal investigator)

Brief description This Fellowship addresses the high rates of depression amongst Indigenous Australians. The proposed work will quantify the extent to which two major risk factors contribute to the burden of depression in this population and the burden avertable from interventions to modify these risk factors. Findings would inform resource allocation and health service delivery, and in doing so, present opportunities for improvements in the health of Indigenous Australians.
