Engaging Australian men in disease prevention - priorities and opportunities from a national survey.

Unlabelled: Objective and importance of the study: In Australia, preventable causes of morbidity and mortality are common among men. The National Men's Health Strategy 2021-2030 highlights the need to successfully engage men in disease prevention; hence, we aimed to examine the prevention priorities, attitudes and information sources reported by Australian men.

Study Type: Population survey.

Lifestyle and environmental risk factors for unexplained male infertility: study protocol for Australian Male Infertility Exposure (AMIE), a case-control study.

Background: Approximately 1 in 20 men are sub-fertile or infertile yet the aetiologies of male infertility remain largely unexplained. It is suggested that lifestyle choices and environmental factors contribute but research is limited. In particular, no study has evaluated early life exposures and subsequent male infertility.

Understanding the preferences of Australian men for accessing health information.

With men currently reporting an increased desire to manage their own health, this mixed-methods study aimed to identify the preferred communication channels to support their access to information. Adult cisgender men (n=410) completed an anonymous survey that assessed current methods, preferences and barriers to accessing health information for general, minor, serious and private health concerns. Seven focus groups, attended by 69 men, further explored health-seeking behaviour.
