Limitations of the Data
• The study was conducted on a sample of youth living in Australia who were using the online mental help platform ReachOut.
• The study's use of a sample that was actively using mental health resources may have skewed the numbers in the sample to be higher than in the general population.
• The results also solely apply to young people and did find that mental health outcomes seem to improve with age, particularly when it came to risk of suicide.
• Overall, the study is not particularly generalizable, but is still a valuable source of information on differences in mental health outcomes.
