The third Australian child and adolescent survey of mental health and wellbeing

Young Minds: Our Future (#YMOF) is a national household survey of Australian families. #YMOF will explore the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people. It will also examine how this impacts their daily lives, what influences their mental health, and what support services they access.

YMOF involves:
- A survey examining the mental health of 6,500 families with children aged 4-17 years through face-to-face interviews.
- Parents or primary carers will be interviewed by skilled interviewers, and
- Adolescents aged 11 years and older will complete a questionnaire on a tablet while the parent interview is happening. One child will be randomly chosen in each family
