Abstract

Objectives

The Future Proofing Study (FPS) was established to examine factors associated with the onset and course of mental health conditions during adolescence. This paper describes the design, methods, and baseline characteristics of the FPS cohort.

Methods

The FPS is an Australian school-based prospective cohort study with an embedded cluster-randomized controlled trial examining the effects of digital prevention programs on mental health. Data sources include self-report questionnaires, cognitive functioning, linkage to health and education records, and smartphone sensor data. Participants are assessed annually for 5 years.

Results

The baseline cohort (N = 6388, M = 13.9 years) is broadly representative of the Australian adolescent population. The clinical profile of participants is comparable to other population estimates. Overall, 15.1% of the cohort met the clinical threshold for depression, 18.6% for anxiety, 31.6% for psychological distress, and 4.9% for suicidal ideation. These rates were significantly higher in adolescents who identified as female, gender diverse, sexuality diverse, or Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander (all ps < 0.05).

Conclusions

This paper provides current and comprehensive data about the status of adolescent mental health in Australia. The FPS cohort is expected to provide significant insights into the risk, protective, and mediating factors associated with development of mental health conditions during adolescence.

未来证明研究:澳大利亚青少年心理健康前瞻性队列研究的设计、方法和基线特征

目的建立未来证明研究(FPS)，探讨青少年心理健康状况发生和发展的相关因素。本文描述了FPS队列的设计、方法和基线特征。FPS是一项以澳大利亚学校为基础的前瞻性队列研究，采用嵌入式集群随机对照试验来检验数字预防项目对心理健康的影响。数据来源包括自我报告问卷、认知功能、与健康和教育记录的联系以及智能手机传感器数据。参与者每年接受一次评估，为期5年。结果基线队列(N = 6388, M = 13.9岁)广泛代表了澳大利亚青少年人口。参与者的临床概况与其他人群估计相当。总体而言，15.1%的队列符合抑郁的临床阈值，18.6%为焦虑，31.6%为心理困扰，4.9%为自杀意念。这些比率在自认为是女性、性别多样化、性取向多样化或土著和/或托雷斯海峡岛民的青少年中显著更高(所有ps <0.05)。结论:本文提供了有关澳大利亚青少年心理健康状况的最新和全面的数据。FPS队列有望为青少年心理健康状况发展相关的风险、保护和中介因素提供重要见解。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Methods in Psychiatric Research (MPR) publishes high-standard original research of a technical, methodological, experimental and clinical nature, contributing to the theory, methodology, practice and evaluation of mental and behavioural disorders. The journal targets in particular detailed methodological and design papers from major national and international multicentre studies. There is a close working relationship with the US National Institute of Mental Health, the World Health Organisation (WHO) Diagnostic Instruments Committees, as well as several other European and international organisations. MPR aims to publish rapidly articles of highest methodological quality in such areas as epidemiology, biostatistics, generics, psychopharmacology, psychology and the neurosciences. Articles informing about innovative and critical methodological, statistical and clinical issues, including nosology, can be submitted as regular papers and brief reports. Reviews are only occasionally accepted. MPR seeks to monitor, discuss, influence and improve the standards of mental health and behavioral neuroscience research by providing a platform for rapid publication of outstanding contributions. As a quarterly journal MPR is a major source of information and ideas and is an important medium for students, clinicians and researchers in psychiatry, clinical psychology, epidemiology and the allied disciplines in the mental health field.
