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.

与其他澳大利亚人相比，澳大利亚土著青少年的心理障碍发生率要高得多。目前，我们没有证据表明有任何计划可以降低这一人群中自杀、抑郁或创伤后应激障碍的风险。该项目将提供第一个证据，证明当地适应的认知行为疗法的有效性，旨在治疗澳大利亚原住民的焦虑、抑郁、药物滥用和绝望。
