Brief description The project aims to determine whether a short, free-to-use, questionnaire about depression that has been adapted for use with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, accurately identifies depression in this population. Specifically we aim to test whether this measure is suitable for use in primary care settings with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with or without chronic disease.
