The prevalence of psychiatric disorder in rural school children

The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry

Abstract

The multidetermined nature of psychiatric disorder in childhood calls for a detailed assessment of the individual and his family, and often a team approach to treatment. Since this involves contact with the family over a period of time the delivery of this type of service to children living in remote areas under conditions of geographical isolation can present considerable difficulty. A survey of 10- and 11-year-old children from the far West of Queensland showed a prevalence rate for psychiatric disorder of 10% among those whose parents were willing to complete a questionnaire and attend the child's school for interview. Although this is lower than rates obtained for children living in towns on the East coast and in the metropolitan Brisbane it still represents a sizeable group of children who require psychiatric help in areas where presently none is available. A method of family assessment and treatment for country children evolved by the psychiatric unit of a metropolitan children's hospital, shows the remoteness of home need not preclude the disturbed child from psychiatric expertise, although facilities must be augmented if children from an often forgotten sector of the Australian population are to be covered adequately.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
