Persons with low levels of social support were less likely to be highly distressed as remoteness increased; an effect particularly evident in remote, compared to urban and regional, participants.
Further, older persons were less likely to be highly distressed as remoteness increased, with urban participants showing little change in psychological distress with increasing age.

Differing patterns of association between psychiatric disorder and suicidal ideation and attempts as geographical remoteness increased were investigated.
