Estimating levels of mental health service need by small geographic area: A case study for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults living in South East Queensland
To ensure equity of mental health service provision, planners should account for variation in levels of need within a catchment. This method may be used throughout Australia to determine regional variation in need for care where other data are lacking to ensure evidence-based investment planning decisions at the local level.
