Abstrakt: For example, we have continued our successful partnership with the I Lancet i that commenced in 2018[9] with the 2019 follow-up of the I MJA i - I Lancet i Countdown on health and climate change in this issue (a print summary and the full report online).[10] Fifth, we are working to broaden the dissemination of I MJA i content, and are proud that all our research articles are available without cost on the I MJA i website, as are all articles on Indigenous health. The Getting it Right Collaborative Group[17] undertook an important validation study of a culturally adapted version of the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (aPHQ-9) as a screening tool for depression in Indigenous Australians. In their prospective observational study including 500 Indigenous Australians from ten primary health care centres, they found that the aPHQ-9 is an effective tool for screening for current major depressive episodes, and could help clinicians and researchers confidently identify depression in Indigenous patients, facilitating initiation of effective treatment. Cairns and her colleagues[19] retrospectively reviewed paracetamol overdose-related hospital admissions and deaths in Australia and the overdose sizes of intentional paracetamol overdoses, as reflected in data from several national databases. In a cluster randomised controlled trial in 18 NSW hospitals, Cheung and his colleagues[21] examined whether screening emergency department patients improves the detection of unrecognised diabetes.
