We work with leading researchers from all around Australia, and help to promote research studies that focus on male health. You can find out about these studies below.
If you’re a researcher and would like to list your study you can find more information here.
Cognitive health
Multimodal Imaging in Cognitive Decline (The MInD Sub-study)
The MInD Sub-study is investigating brain activity that is associated with age-related cognitive changes. By exploring brain activity associated with aging and cognitive decline the team hope to identify what the early signs are, as well as gain a better understanding of how mechanisms like memory and thinking changes in illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease. People aged between 50-85 years with a diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or healthy adults with no cognitive concerns may be eligible to participate.
Fatherhood and paternal health
Dad Booster
Becoming a dad doesn’t happen overnight and doesn’t happen without a fair amount of upheaval and challenges — and 10% of men may experience symptoms of depression when expecting a new baby. New fathers who are struggling are often overlooked and their difficulties are not acknowledged by a system that has focused mainly on mother and baby health and wellbeing. DadBooster is designed for men (fathers or non-birthing partners) who are helping to care for a baby who are feeling overwhelmed and may be experiencing some of the signs of anxiety and depression.
Stressed and Burnout Fathers
Are you a father in Australia feeling the pressures of parenting? Participate in a study exploring fathers’ lived experiences of stress and burnout. Conducted by the Australian College of Applied Professions, eligible participants will complete a brief online survey followed by a 45-60 minute Zoom interview.
Prostate health
PCEssentials Hormone Therapy Study
If you have prostate cancer and your doctor has recommended androgen deprivation therapy or hormone therapy, the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia would like to invite you to take part in a research study.
