Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective study of cognitive function in the elderly.
Ailsa E Korten,A. S. Henderson,Helen Christensen,Anthony F. Jorm,Bryan Rodgers,Patricia A. Jacomb,Andrew Mackinnon +6 more
TL;DR: A score indicating possible impairment in the very elderly carries a worse prognosis than for the younger elderly, and decline is almost universal in at least one cognitive area among those over the age of 85.
Journal ArticleDOI
Best strategies for reducing the suicide rate in Australia
Karolina Krysinska,Philip J. Batterham,Michelle Tye,Fiona Shand,Alison L. Calear,Nicole Cockayne,Helen Christensen +6 more
TL;DR: The findings of the population preventable fraction calculations indicate that the systems approach could lead to significant reduction in suicide attempts and suicide deaths in Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suicide literacy, suicide stigma and help-seeking intentions in Australian medical students
TL;DR: Exposure to suicidal people through clinical experience may improve knowledge about suicide but may lead to more negative attitudes toward informal help-seeking, and the suicide prevention curriculum should aim to raise mental health literacy levels, reduce stigmatising attitudes and limit the normalisation of suicide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rajeev Kumar,Keith Dear,Helen Christensen,Susanne Dr Ilschner,Anthony F. Jorm,Chantal Meslin,Stephen Rosenman,Perminder S. Sachdev +7 more
