Health follows football
Men carrying the greatest burden of preventable ill health are among the least likely to be reached by conventional health promotion. Football-based initiatives have demonstrated capacity to engage such men, yet the cultural mechanisms through which sustained engagement and health outcomes are achieved remain poorly understood. This paper explores how football culture and the organizational culture of the Football Cooperative (FC) initiative, an …
The Development of the Cairde General Awareness Training
Suicide is a leading cause of death among construction workers, particularly younger and lower-skilled employees. Barriers such as stigma, low mental health literacy, and traditional masculine norms hinder help-seeking in this male-dominated sector. Few mental health interventions are tailored to this context. This study developed a co-designed, theory-informed training to improve mental health literacy, reduce stigma, and increase help-seeking a…
Capturing the wider benefits from football participation
The computed SROI ratios for a single site and for ten sites compare favourably with those of other health initiatives particularly other football and community based SROI evaluations. Furthermore, this study quantifies the benefits of football participation from a mental health and social perspective in addition to physical benefits, and it also highlights the benefits of football participation to other stakeholders such as participants' family …
Football cooperative
Across the western world, men tend to have lower life expectancy compared to women and have higher mortality rates for most of the leading causes of deaths at all ages. While biological factors such as genetics and hormones may seem to contribute to men’s heightened vulnerability to certain diseases and health conditions, these elements alone do not fully explain the significant disparities observed in health outcomes between men and women. To ad…
Mental Health Stigma Reduction Interventions Among Men
Stigma surrounding mental health, particularly among men, remains a significant barrier to men engaging with support services for their mental health. Despite increasing evidence of interventions targeting different aspects of stigma reduction, there is a notable gap in the literature concerning male-specific mental health stigma reduction interventions and on the underlying behavior change techniques (BCTs) used to reduce stigma. The purpose of …
Using an Intersectional Approach to Explore the Lived Mental Health Experiences of Traveller Men Affected by Suicide in Ireland
Rates of suicide are seven times higher among Traveller men, an Indigenous ethnic minority group in Ireland, compared with non-Traveller men. Several factors are implicated, including racism, social exclusion, discrimination, inadequate accommodation, unemployment, and lower educational attainment. Systemic and cultural barriers inhibit Traveller men from seeking support. This study addresses a gap in the literature by exploring the lived mental …
Mental health, societal expectations and changes to the governance of farming
Contemporary EU agricultural policies place a significant emphasis on current and future societal issues, e.g. climate, biodiversity, animal welfare, and air and water quality amongst others. The governance of farming practices has changed in order to deliver on these expectations resulting in increasingly specific regulations to ensure their delivery. For male farmers these developments have the potential to undermine their autonomy as a 'good f…
“That’s Me I am the Farmer of the Land”
Compared to other occupational groups, farmers in Ireland experience a disproportionate burden of health problems, which impact farmers’ livelihoods and farming sustainability. Internationally, farmers’ poor health outcomes are associated with intersecting economic, environmental, socio-cultural, and occupation-specific factors linked to changes in agricultural governance. This qualitative study explored the challenges and stressors facing farmer…
A process evaluation of a Training of Trainers (TOT) model of men’s health training
This study set out to identify the mediators of diffusion of a Training of Trainers (ToT) programme; focusing on ENGAGE, Ireland's national men's health training programme, we explored the process (planning, implementation and maintenance) of using a ToT model of training to affect change in gender sensitive health and social service provision for men. Our findings indicate that an experiential learning approach in combination with mechanisms for…
From training to practice
Ireland's National Men's Health Policy recommended developing training programmes tailored to the needs of those working in health and allied health professionals and ENGAGE was developed to meet that recommendation. This study evaluated the impact of ENGAGE on frontline service providers' self-reported knowledge, skills, capacity and practice up to 5-months post training. Between 2012 and 2015, ENGAGE Trainers (n = 57) delivered 62 1-day trainin…
