Causes and consequences of mental disorders, cognitive decline and dementia over the adult life course and the implications for mental health services: PATH Through Life Wave 4

我们的纵向研究检查了精神和大脑疾病的生物，社会，遗传和心理风险和保护因素，包括抑郁，焦虑，物质使用，认知障碍和痴呆。将评估3个队列，提供12年随访。这项研究在澳大利亚是独一无二的，跨越了60年的成年期。我们还将确定人们使用哪些卫生服务;以及为什么许多有精神健康问题的人无法获得服务。

Our longitudinal study examines biological, social, genetic and psychological risk and protective factors for disorders of mind and brain including depression, anxiety, substance use, cognitive impairment and dementia. Three cohorts will be assessed providing 12 years of follow-up. The study is unique within Australia for spanning 6 decades of adulthood. We will also identify what health services people use; and why many people with mental health problems do not access services.
