Synopsis

This study aims to identify factors predicting improvements or deterioration in symptoms of depression and / or anxiety over time (using the CESD-10 and GADanx) in the 1973-78 and 1946-51 cohorts. It also aims to explore the patterns of moving into and out of sub-threshold and more severe symptoms of anxiety and / or depression over time. THIS AMENDMENT: We wish to also explore factors predicting help-seeking behaviour specific to symptoms of anxiety or depression. This separate analyses is required because help-seeking is strongly correlated with both the outcome of interest and several key predictive variables of the existing EOI.
