Computation description: | Derived from the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, with higher scores indicating a higher level of distress; lower scores indicate a low level of distress.

Total scores from the K10 scale will be grouped as follows:

Comments: | Most recent data available for the 2014 Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Reform Council (CRC) report: 2011-12 (total population: AHS); 2012–13 (Indigenous status: AATSIHS and AHS). The modified K5 scale from the 2012–13 AATSIHS will be used with the corresponding 5 questions from the 2011-12 AHS to compare the psychological distress levels of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous peoples. The achieved sample size for psychological distress questions in the NHS component of AHS was 15,475 people. The sample size for K5 questions from the NATSIHS component of the AATSIHS is expected to be approximately 6,000 people. |
