One aim of the CRE for Driving Global Investment in Adolescent Health<\/strong> is to deliver research that drives investment in neglected areas of adolescent health including groups experiencing significant discrimination or disadvantage specifically, Indigenous young people and young people in contact with the justice system.<\/p> Neglected areas of adolescent health include mental health, non-communicable disease risk, injury and violence and substance use.<\/p> The CREs research streams are designed to drive a cycle of accountability across neglected areas of adolescent health globally; in priority adolescent groups in Australia; and in two partner countries, China and Indonesia, both of which have large adolescent populations.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t This work stream is led by Professor Rebecca Ivers AM, who is\u00a0 Head of the School of Population Health, UNSW Sydney, and Honorary Professorial Fellow at the George Institute for Global Health.<\/p> Funding from the CRE has supported work by Dr Amy Peden and Dr Patricia Cullen to conduct two systematic reviews of injury interventions to prevent injury in adolescents, and lead two papers using GBD data on estimates of injury in adolescence.\u00a0Members of the team have also published papers on young driver safety and mental health.<\/p> Publications<\/strong><\/p> Cullen, P., Peden, A.

While the majority of adolescents live in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), relatively little to no data exists on the prevalence of mental disorders among adolescents living in these regions. The existence of these \u2018data deserts\u2019 severely limits evidence-based service planning and prioritisation for adolescent mental health in LMICs, with implications for both in-country health departments and global health organisations.<\/p> To address the lack of data in these regions, this project has conducted nationally-representative household surveys of adolescent mental disorders in three LMICs: Kenya (K-NAMHS), Indonesia (I-NAMHS), and Vietnam (V-NAMHS). Data collection was conducted throughout 2021, with over 5000 interviews with adolescents and their primary caregivers completed in each country. The data generated by these surveys is representative of the general population and provides vital information for service planning and advocacy by stakeholders. Additionally, data on country-specific risk factors that can be targeted for prevention and early intervention strategies has been collected.<\/p> Results dissemination is currently underway for these results. National reports presenting the key findings on mental health, service use and COVID-19 in each country has been disseminated to key stakeholders and are available through the below links.\u00a0<\/p> This project is funded by The University of Queensland in America (TUQIA) through support from Pivotal Ventures, a Melinda French Gates company. It is not a project of the CRE, the CRE is co-funding a postdoc to support additional results analysis and dissemination.\u00a0<\/p> https:\/\/qcmhr.org\/uncategorised\/national-adolescent-mental-health-surveys-namhs<\/a><\/p> Erskine, H.E., Enright, M.E., Blondell, S.J., Shadid, J., … Whiteford, H.A.

The economic side of things comes in once we apply costs to the scenarios we run, where we can then calculate how much the intervention costs each year or how much it would cost if we scaled it up to effect more people. We can then calculate how much money was saved by either treating someone with a health outcome or preventing them from experiencing it initially. Further, once we have a set of interventions, services, policy changes and other actions that influence the model we can run a process of optimisation to arrive at which set of actions will have the largest effect on the burden of the disease given a pre-specified amount of money available to be spent.
