Synthetic small area estimates of youth at risk of a mental health problem<br />

The following figures illustrate the SA1s within 10 and 30km of an existing <strong>headspace</strong> centre and the estimated prevalence of youth at risk of mental<br />

health problems for each capital city. Distance calculations were based on the geocoded location of the <strong>headspace</strong> centre and the centroid of each SA1.<br />

Prevalence estimates are based on synthetic small area estimates.<br />

These maps demonstrate that there is a substantial <strong>difference</strong> in current youth coverage based on the geographic definition of access used. Further, in<br />

many cities, the areas which are less likely <strong>to</strong> have access <strong>to</strong> services, based on their geographic proximity <strong>to</strong> current services, tend <strong>to</strong> have a higher<br />

prevalence of youth at risk of mental health problems. These data highlight inequities in the current allocation of services.<br />
