Background

A/Prof Damian Santomauro is based at the School of Public Health, The University of Queensland, and leads the Epidemiology and Burden of Disease Research Stream based at the Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research (QCMHR). He is also an Affiliate Associate Professor at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), University of Washington, where he serves as the Mental Disorders Team Lead and the DisMod-AT Team Lead for the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study. Driven by a commitment to improving global mental health, A/Prof Santomauro is responsible for all mental disorder epidemiological and burden estimates reported by the GBD Study and has played a key role in uncovering burden not currently represented by the GBD Study such as burden of binge eating disorder, other specified feeding and eating disorders, and somatoform disorders. He also modelled the worldwide impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on depressive and anxiety disorders, quantified the excess self-harm mortality among autistic persons globally, and developed a novel cohort method to estimate the burden of depressive and anxiety disorders due to bullying victimization. A/Prof Santomauro also quantified the minimally adequate treatment coverage for depressive disorders globally, and the burden of anxiety disorders that could be averted under ideal treatment coverage conditions. His research continues to inform international mental health policy, helping to ensure that the true extent of mental disorder burden is recognised and averted.

Developmental disabilities among children younger than 5 years in 195 countries and territories, 1990–2016: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016

Available projects

  • Systematic review of the impact of war, conflict, and natural disasters on mental disorders

    The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) team at the University of Queensland are responsible for producing burden of disease estimates for mental disorders the GBD Study led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. This work would involve a systematic literature review and meta-analyses / meta-regressions to quantify the elevated risk for mental disorders following exposure to war, conflict, and natural disorders. The outputs of this work would help inform work to explain how much mental disorder burden is due to these factors and forecasting scenarios.

  • Quantifying the bias in anxiety disorder symptom scales to determine the prevalence of anxiety disorders

    The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) team at the University of Queensland are responsible for producing burden of disease estimates for mental disorders the GBD Study led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. The prevalence and burden of anxiety disorders is modelled as part of this work, but global coverage of epidemiological estimates remains limited due to the resource requirements to conduct population-representative surveys using diagnostic interviews. Many studies instead use symptom scales, however these tend to overestimate prevalence. This project aims to quantify this bias to determine likely anxiety disorder prevalence from symptom scales. This will lead to substantially improved geographical coverage for anxiety disorder epidemiological modelling within the GBD Study.

  • Quantifying the treatment coverage of ADHD globally and its impact on symptom severity

    The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) team at the University of Queensland are responsible for producing burden of disease estimates for mental disorders the GBD Study led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. The prevalence and burden of ADHD is modelled as part of this work. Symptom severity likely varies by healthcare access but this is not currently factored within the GBD Study. This project aims to quantify this to determine how ADHD symptom severity varies by treatment access and in turn by geography.

  • Quantifying self-harm mortality burden attributable to Schizophrenia

    The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) team at the University of Queensland are responsible for producing burden of disease estimates for mental disorders the GBD Study led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. The prevalence and burden of Schizophrenia is modelled as part of this work, but currently the elevated fatal burden among persons living with Schizophrenia is not captured in the GBD Study. This work aims to quantify the elevated risk of self-harm mortality among persons living with Schizophrenia.

  • Systematic review of the epidemiology of anxiety disorders

    The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) team at the University of Queensland are responsible for producing burden of disease estimates for mental disorders in the yearly iterations of the GBD Study led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. The team maintains one of the world’s largest databases of epidemiological data for mental disorders and are actively seeking epidemiolocal data for locations with poor data coverage. This research topic would contribute to this work and would involve conducting a systematic literature search for new survey data on the epidemiology of anxiety disorders and quantifyfing global coverage and variations in the data.

  • Systematic review of the epidemiology of Mood disorders

    The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) team at the University of Queensland are responsible for producing burden of disease estimates for mental disorders in the yearly iterations of the GBD Study led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. The team maintains one of the world’s largest databases of epidemiological data for mental disorders and are actively seeking epidemiolocal data for locations with poor data coverage. This research topic would contribute to this work and would involve conducting a systematic literature search for new survey data on the epidemiology of major depressive disorder, dysthymia, and bipolar disorder and quantifyfing global coverage and variations in the data.

  • Systematic review of the global epidemiology of peripartum anxiety disorders

    The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) team at the University of Queensland are responsible for producing burden of disease estimates for mental disorders the GBD Study led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. This project aims to quantify the prevalence of peripartum anxiety disorder. THe project would involve a systematic literature review and meta-analyses / meta-regressions to quantify its prevalence.
