Treating Mental Health in Aboriginal Adolescents

青少年土著澳大利亚人患心理障碍的比率比其他澳大利亚人高得多。目前，我们没有证据表明有任何项目可以降低这一人群自杀、抑郁或创伤后应激障碍的风险。该项目将首次提供证据，证明土著适应的认知行为疗法的有效性，该疗法旨在治疗澳大利亚土著居民的焦虑、抑郁、药物滥用和绝望。

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.
