Comparing Motivations for Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Use Among an International Sample of Men
Introduction: Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) are used for medical and non-medical purposes. Although the motivations underpinning AAS consumption among men have been explored, less is understood about age-related differences. This research compares AAS use motivations between men aged <40 and ≥40 years. Method: Data were drawn from the 2024 Global Drug Survey (GDS2024), an international, self-selected online convenience sample, comprising 1,1…
Development and application of the Masculinity Content Classification Framework
Aimed to identify and define categories of content in the ‘mainstream manosphere.’ • Developed the Masculinity Content Classification Framework (MCFF). • Applied this framework to code TikTok video data provided by 142 young men. • Manosphere narratives found in 6% of videos, innocuous entry point content in 38%. • The MCFF enables standardised measurement of a currently elusive cultural ideology. The manosphere, once confined to fringe online co…
Mental health and well‐being in esports
The growing popularity of esports has sparked interest in understanding how esports participation might pose unique mental health challenges and opportunities for players. To address this, this scoping review aimed to systematically map mental health and well‐being research in esports. Specifically, we sought to (1) describe the methodological characteristics of existing studies, (2) synthesise findings on mental health and well‐being outcomes an…
“Just Treat Me Delicately”
There is growing consensus for upskilling the health care workforce on gender-responsive strategies to more effectively connect and respond to men during health care encounters. To inform health practitioner education, the primary aim of this study was to gain insights from a diverse sample of men in Australia on their experiences and expectations when engaging with health care practitioners. Thirty-two men (18–70 years, median 33) participated i…
Young Men and Relationship Breakdown
Intimate partner relationship breakdown is a significant risk factor for suicide in men. Linked to this risk is the emotional upheaval tied to grief and loss—an area that has received little research attention in young men. This study aimed to theorize the emotional and social processes by which young men react to and recover from relationship breakdown. Twenty-two Australian men (aged 19–30 years) who had been through a breakup in the preceding …
Approaches to Engaging Men During Primary Healthcare Encounters
Gender-responsive healthcare is critical to advancing men’s health given that masculinities intersect with other social determinants to impact help-seeking, engagement with primary healthcare, and patient outcomes. A scoping review was undertaken with the aim to synthesize gender-responsive approaches used by healthcare providers (HCPs) to engage men with primary healthcare. MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases were searched for articl…
Australian men's help-seeking pathways for anxiety
Globally, there has been a substantial increase in the number of men being diagnosed with anxiety disorders. Despite this, men's mental health research often focusses on uncovering why men don't, rather than why they do, seek help. Within this context, men's help-seeking pathways for anxiety are poorly understood. This study mapped the help-seeking pathways of 419 Australian-based men for anxiety. Respondents 16 to 77 years-old (M = 40.92 years, …
“Hey Amir, How Are You Really Doing?”
Suicide is a major public health concern and leading cause of death among men in Canada. This study reports the feasibility and acceptability of Buddy Up, a peer-based suicide prevention campaign for men. A mixed-methods approach was used to analyze respondent survey questionnaires ( n = 48) and individual participant interviews ( n = 19) collected from campaign users. Survey respondents reported that they enjoyed their involvement in the campaig…
Young men and anxiety
Anxiety is the most prevalent mental disorder experienced by young men, and when untreated, is predictive of co-morbid mental health challenges and suicide. Despite the rising prevalence, there is a conspicuous absence of qualitative research to distil and theorise young men's anxiety. Twenty-five young Australian men (15-25 years), who had been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder or self-reported anxiety symptoms, took part in individual semi-str…
Male-Type Depression Mediates the Relationship between Avoidant Coping and Suicidal Ideation in Men
Despite known links between men's avoidant coping behaviours (e.g., distraction, denial, substance use) and suicide risk, little research has explored the mechanisms underpinning this relationship. This study sought to examine whether male-type depression symptoms (e.g., anger, aggression, emotion suppression), assessed by the Male Depression Risk Scale, mediate the association between avoidant coping and suicide/self-harm ideation in men. Data w…
