Improving the Mental Health Outcomes of People with Intellectual Disability

澳大利亚智障人士的精神疾病发病率很高，但获得心理健康服务的机会很少。我们的研究将为智障人士的精神疾病健康状况、服务使用情况、护理途径和精神健康政策提供可靠的证据。我们将与消费者和支持人员一起研究如何改善为智障人士提供的精神健康服务。

Australians with intellectual disability (ID) have very high rates of mental illness but experience very poor access to mental health services. Our research will develop a sound evidence base on the profile of mental ill health, service use, pathways to care and mental health policy for people with intellectual disability. Together with consumers and support persons we will examine ways to improve mental health services for people with intellectual disability.
