About the Authors of the PAS

The PAS was developed by Tony Jorm and Andrew Mackinnon in collaboration with the staff of the Psychiatric Epidemiology Research Center (now the Mental Health Research Centre) at the Australian National University.

At the time we looked a bit like this:

 Tony Jorm

Andrew Mackinnon

We now both work at the work at Orygen Youth Heath Research Centre at the University of Melbourne. Tony's current research focuses on public knowledge and beliefs about mental disorders, and particularly on interventions to improve the public’s helpfulness towards people developing mental disorders. Andrew is the head of the Statistics Unit at Orygen.
