Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Presence of common mental disorders indicated by scores above validated cutpoints on the GHQ-12
The 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) is a structured validated screening tool to assess for the presence of CMDs, administered to participants who have consented to take part in the study by completing responses either via survey monkey, or if they prefer through paper questionnaires posted to them. We will use validated cut points, individuals scoring above these (for example 4 or more on the GHQ-12) will be determined as having a common mental disorder
Cross-sectional analysis, data was collected from September 2018, with exposures and outcomes collected at the same time points (ie. when people fill out the questionnaire). Time frame for analysis will be through to study completion.
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Presence of alcohol use disorders, indicated by scores above validated cutpoints on the WHO AUDIT tool
