• Despite the high prevalence of mental health problems and disorders that develop in adolescence and early adulthood, young people tend to not seek professional help. Young men and young people from Indigenous and ethnic minority groups tend to be those most reluctant to seek help. • Young people are more inclined to seek help for mental health problems if they: ae have some knowledge about mental health issues and sources of help; ae feel emotionally competent to express their feelings; and ae have established and trusted relationships with potential help providers. • Young people are less likely to seek help if they: ae are experiencing suicidal thoughts and depressive symptoms; ae hold negative attitudes toward seeking help or have had negative past experiences with sources of help; or ae hold beliefs that they should be able to sort out their own mental health problems on their own. • Young people may seek help through talking to their family and friends, with family being more important for younger adolescents, and friends and partners becoming more influential later on.

Introduction to Variance Estimation

Australian Guidelines to Reduce Health Risks from Drinking Alcohol The National Health and Medical Research council (NHMRC) released revised guidelines which aim to reduce the risks associated with alcohol consumption. The Guidelines can be found on the National and Medical Research Council website — http://www.nhrrirc.dov.au/publications/synobses/ds10s_yn.htnn It provides universal guidance for healthy adults aged 18 years and over and guidelines specific to children and young people and to pregnant and breastfeeding women. The guidelines do not represent a 'safe" or "no-risk" level. Rather, it is an advisory drinking level that enables healthy adults to maintain a low risk of alcohol-related accidents, injuries, diseases and death. What is a standard drink? The term "standard drink" should not be confused with a serving of alcohol, which is often much larger. For example, with wine, a standard drink corresponds to 100mL of wine, whereas a typical serve is at least 150mL. Australian law requires that all cans, bottles and casks containing alcoholic beverages be labelled with the approximate amount of standard drinks it contains. However, it can sometimes be difficult to translate standard drinks into real-life scenarios. There are no common glass sizes used across all drinking environments and people often underestimate how much they are drinking. This is compounded where large containers such as jugs and casks, are shared, where glasses are topped up by others, where the composition of mixed drinks is not known eg. cocktails or punch, and when pre-mixed spirit drinks contain a variable amount of alcohol per bottle or can.

The increasing global health priority of substance use in young people

• This state-wide Aboriginal community child health survey, the first of its kind in Australia, describes physical and mental health and their antecedents in Western Australian Aboriginal children and young people. • Aboriginal young people had significantly more physical and mental health problems and were more likely to engage in lifestyle risk factors than non-Aboriginal young people. • Aboriginal young people tend to be caught up in a cycle of disadvantage that includes family and community factors as well as recent history, facilitating their making less optimal life choices, thereby perpetuating the cycle. • A coordinated approach will be required to break this cycle, in which appropriately and sympathetically provided medical MJA 2005; 183: 433–435 attention is necessary but not sufficient.

The Western Australian Aboriginal Child Health Survey: findings to date on adolescents.

The Social and Emotional Wellbeing of Aboriginal Children and Young People

It is now generally accepted that both forced separation and forced relocation have had devastating consequences on Indigenous families in terms of social and cultural dislocation and have impacted on the health and well being of subsequent generations. However, until recently there has been little or no empirical data to scientifically document the nature and extent of these intergenerational effects. In this paper, the authors seek to address this gap in the research.
