However, questions were primarily framed using a deficit perspective and many strengths from the Framework (i.e. nature, rural norms, culture, and lay personnel) were absent. Most strengths did not differ significantly between levels of rurality, though making healthy diet choices (as a self-management technique) was significantly lower in remote areas. Adults without affective\/anxiety disorders more often reported good social support and self-efficacy. Conversely, those with affective\/anxiety disorders were more likely to self-manage and access consultations for mental health. Excellent social connectedness was associated with better mental health.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The survey questions reflected limited strengths. Future surveys should include a broader range of strengths-based questions spanning the extent of the Rural Strengths Socioecological Framework. Healthy diet choices as a self-management tool in remote areas may need to be prioritised. Findings also suggest the need for targeted approaches to protect, improve, or leverage social connectedness for those with more severe illness in rural areas.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/00048674261467613","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,10]],"date-time":"2026-08-10T06:46:35Z","timestamp":1786344395000},"page":"978-992","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Rural mental health strengths and social connectedness: Findings from the Australian National Study of Mental Health and Wellbeing"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4362-3016","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Annika","family":"Luebbe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research, Wacol, QLD, Australia"},{"name":"The School of Public Health, The University of Queensland, Herston, QLD, Australia"},{"name":"Toowoomba Regional Clinical Unit, Faculty of Health, Medicine and Behavioural Sciences, Rural Clinical School, The University of Queensland, South Toowoomba, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0499-1134","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zoe","family":"Rutherford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research, Wacol, QLD, Australia"},{"name":"The School of Public Health, The University of Queensland, Herston, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4667-6623","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Harvey","family":"Whiteford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research, Wacol, QLD, Australia"},{"name":"The School of Public Health, The University of Queensland, Herston, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8742-8816","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sandra","family":"Diminic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research, Wacol, QLD, Australia"},{"name":"The School of Public Health, The University of Queensland, Herston, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1584.2009.01121.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","volume-title":"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Association","year":"2000","unstructured":"American Psychiatric Association (2000) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition.
