Doctoral Thesis: Young women, multiple roles and mental health:
An investigation of epidemiological and lay perspectives
Supervisors: Associate Professor Susan Quine & Professor Christina Lee
University: Department of Public Health and Community Medicine, University of Sydney

The study will investigate the impact of multiple social roles on the mental health of young Australian women, with particular emphasis on maternal and employment roles. The study aims to:
- Describe the association between social roles and mental health longitudinally;
- Identify the model/s of role occupancy that best explain the association between social roles and mental health among young Australian women;
- Identify the psychological, social and structural factors that young women with maternal and employment roles consider significant to undertaking their social roles.

This study is using qualitative and quantitative methods. In 2002, 31 interviews with young working mothers were undertaken. These are currently being transcribed. The first four interviews were analysed using a narrative approach, which will be adopted for the remainder. In 2003, the qualitative analysis is continuing, and the quantitative analysis, using data from the 1996 and the 2000 surveys.
