A sample of 19% (n401) of people aged 16-24 years registered as seeking full-time employment in Canberra, completed a psychiatric screening instrument. A weighted subsample (n72) was examined by a psychiatrist. The screening instrument showed that 56% were probable cases. By harnessing the results of the psychiatrist's examination to the scores on the screening instrument, the proportion with severe psychiatric disorder was estimated to be 49%. Three-quarters were cases of depression. They had been ill for 10 months on average. In 70% of cases, the onset of their disorder followed unemployment. In more than half of these there was no evidence of any other recent stress apart from unemployment itself. The median time between unemployment and the onset of disorder was five months.
在堪培拉登记寻求全职工作的16至24岁人群中，19%（n = 401）的样本完成了一份精神疾病筛查工具。一个加权子样本（n = 72）由一名精神科医生进行检查。筛查工具显示，56%为疑似病例。通过将精神科医生的检查结果与筛查工具的得分相结合，估计患有严重精神疾病的比例为49%。其中四分之三是抑郁症病例。他们平均患病10个月。在70%的病例中，疾病发作发生在失业之后。在这些病例中，超过一半除了失业本身外没有任何其他近期压力的证据。失业与疾病发作之间的中位时间为五个月。
