Results: Fifteen per cent (n = 184) of participants identified as having a mental health condition in the past 12 months. Across most (7 of 8) sleep parameters, the prevalence of suboptimal sleep was higher among people with a mental health condition, compared to those without (all p < 0.05). The highest prevalence of suboptimal sleep for both groups was seen on measures of sleep duration (36–39% and 17–20% for people with and without a mental health condition, respectively). In terms of sleep assessment and treatment, people with a mental health condition were significantly more likely to: desire treatment (37% versus 16%), have been assessed (38% versus 12%) and have received treatment (30% versus 7%). Conclusions: The prevalence of suboptimal sleep among persons with a mental health condition in Australia is significantly higher than those without such a condition, and rates of assessment and treatment are low for both groups, but higher for people with a mental health condition. Population health interventions, including those delivered as part of routine health care, addressing suboptimal sleep are needed.]]> Wed 13 Mar 2024 08:54:45 AEDT ]]> Awareness and use of telephone-based behaviour change support services among clients of a community mental health service https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43017 Mon 12 Sep 2022 08:54:31 AEST ]]> Exploring Support Provided by Community Managed Organisations to Address Health Risk Behaviours Associated with Chronic Disease among People with Mental Health Conditions: A Qualitative Study with Organisational Leaders https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51349 Fri 01 Sep 2023 13:36:15 AEST ]]>
