Anxiety and depression are the most common forms of psychological distress affecting Australian children today. These disorders are seriously disabling and continuous across time. Therefore, it is very important to understand more about the onset and course of these disorders, and about factors which influence these disorders in either a positive or negative manner. There are three major goals for the current project. The first is to further our understanding of the development, maintenance, and amelioration of anxiety and depression in a child and youth population. The second is to understand the relationship between these two disorders in children and youth. The third is to use the acquired information to assist in the identification of optimal ages for preventive interventions, and to aid in the matching of interventions to the specific needs and vulnerabilities of children versus adolescents. This project aims to meet these goals through implementation of a controlled prevention trial. The aims fo the research are: 1. To examine the relationship between symptoms of anxiety and depresison in Australian children and youth 2. To gain valuable clinical information regarding the assessment and prevention of these disorders 3. To understand the risk and protective factors associated with these disorders, and the impact of these factors over time 4. To implement and evaluate a school-based prevention program The expected outcomes of the research are: 1. To acquire valuable information related to the onset and course of anxiety and depression in children and youth, and their associated risk and protective factors 2. To further development of more timely and targeted interventions for the prevention of anxiety and depression 4. To enhance the emotional resilience of participating children and prevent the onset of anxiety and depression 5. To promote Australian research by publishing the results of the project within the international research literature

焦虑和抑郁是当今影响澳大利亚儿童的最常见的心理困扰形式。这些疾病是严重致残和持续跨时间。因此，了解这些疾病的发病和病程以及以积极或消极方式影响这些疾病的因素非常重要。当前项目有三个主要目标。第一是进一步了解儿童和青少年焦虑和抑郁的发展、维持和改善。第二是了解这两种疾病在儿童和青少年中的关系。第三，利用所获得的信息，协助确定采取预防性干预措施的最佳年龄，并协助根据儿童和青少年的具体需要和脆弱性采取相应的干预措施。该项目旨在通过实施对照预防试验来实现这些目标。本研究的目的是：1.探讨澳大利亚儿童和青少年焦虑症状与抑郁症的关系。为了获得有关这些疾病的评估和预防有价值的临床信息3.了解与这些疾病相关的风险和保护因素，以及这些因素随时间的影响。本研究的预期结果为：1。获得有关儿童和青少年焦虑和抑郁的发病和病程及其相关风险和保护因素的有价值的信息。进一步制定更及时、更有针对性的干预措施，预防焦虑和抑郁。提高参与儿童的情绪适应能力，预防焦虑和抑郁的发生5.通过在国际研究文献中发表该项目的成果来促进澳大利亚的研究
