The 2015 national 'Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers in Australia' was used to derive a nationally representative sample and estimate weighted prevalence rates of high psychological distress (Kessler scores ≥22) in primary carers of people with disability. Risk factors were evaluated using weighted logistic regression models with lasso techniques.
