To celebrate International Women’s Day, the Centre is highlighting some of the fantastic women of men’s health that have been supported by the Centre and are achieving great work in the field. FCMHW encourages and commends the involvement of women in men’s health and hopes to further support it in the future.
This research aims to translate the Centre’s research into an impactful health service integration program targeting the patient-GP interface, arming men with the knowledge, motivation, and agency to recognize symptoms and health behaviours as prompts to engage with primary health care services, and providing men and GPs with tools that optimise the outcomes of that engagement.

We will partner with researchers and community outreach officers at Cancer Council SA (lead by Dr Jess Loyer), the Multicultural Communities of South Australia Men’s Group who are investigating barriers to engagement with cancer control programs among CALD communities.
This program aims to adapt the current RACGP prostate cancer screening decision-making tool to be culturally sensitive and meet the needs of men from CALD backgrounds and improve the uptake of PSA screening which will facilitate early detection and treatment/monitoring of prostate cancer.
