Recruitment, retention, and experiences of Australian male dietitians: A cross-sectional online survey.

Aim: Male dietitians are under-represented in the global dietetics workforce, including in Australia. This study explores Australian males' experiences as dietitians in the Australian workforce, with the aim to identify influences that initially attracted them to dietetics, as well as barriers that may affect their decision to stay in or leave the profession.

Methods: A cross-sectional, semi-quantitative web-based survey was distributed to male dietitians using purposive, snowball sampling.
