Australian Student Depression Attitudes Survey

The Australian Student Depression Attitudes Survey (ASDAS) was an online survey hosted on this site in October and November 2009.  We would like to thank the students who participated in the study.

The broad aim of the study was to learn about Australian University students’ attitudes towards depression and its treatment. The results of the study will be useful in helping to better educate the public about depression. They will also be useful in helping mental health professionals to assist students who suffer from depression.

Analysis of the data collected in the study will commence soon (December 2009). Because the amount of data collected was very large, it will take several months to analyse it all. Feedback on the results of the study will be posted on this page in due course.

Thank you once again to those students who participated in the study.
