Abstract:Background
Mental disorders represent a growing health problem: an estimated 45% of Australians experience a mental disorder in their lifetime. The Western Australian (WA) Burden of Disease study 2015 produced detailed data for sub-populations within the state to inform policy and planning. Using this, we describe the burden of mental, substance use disorders and self-inflicted injuries in the WA Aboriginal population.
