24th IACAPAP Lunch & Learn Webinar

^{Note: This webinar has been scheduled to accommodate the time zone of the Asia Pacific's region.}

Until recently, there were very few studies available that accurately measured the prevalence of mental disorders in adolescents living in low and middle income countries. This information is needed in order to plan services and guide national mental health strategies. This webinar will report the results of the National Adolescent Mental Health Surveys, prevalence surveys conducted in Kenya, Indonesia and Vietnam. The prevalence of six common mental disorders, risk and protective factors and service use will be discussed.

James Scott is the Professor of Child and Youth Psychiatry at The University of Queensland Child Health Research Centre and Children’s Hospital Queensland. James is a clinician researcher. He has expertise providing clinical care to children and adolescents with serious and complex mental disorders. He has also established a programme of research to inform risk and protective factors for mental illness in children and adolescents.
