Attitudes towards mental health, mental health research and digital interventions by young adults with type 1 diabetes
Tensions in perspectives on suicide prevention between men who have attempted suicide and their support networks
BACKGROUND: Men generally have higher rates of suicide, despite fewer overt indicators of risk. Differences in presentation and response suggest a need to better understand why suicide prevention is less effective for men. OBJECTIVE: To explore the views of at-risk men, friends and family about the tensions inherent in suicide prevention and to consider how prevention may be improved. DESIGN: Secondary analysis of qualitative interview and focus …
Positive strategies men regularly use to prevent and manage depression
The results demonstrate that the men in the study currently use, and are open to using, a broad range of practical, social, emotional, cognitive and problem-solving strategies to maintain their mental health. This is significant for men in the community who may not be in contact with professional health services and would benefit from health messages promoting positive strategies as effective tools in the prevention and management of depression

Heroin use impairs smoking cessation among Australian prisoners
This trial is registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry 12606000229572
When Words Are Not Enough
Although nonverbal expressions in face and body are our primary means of communicating emotional feelings, word‐based instruments dominate in clinical/counselling, health, education, and research. Picture‐based instruments usually contain four to eight facial expressions of age‐, gender‐, and ethnic‐specific posed photos validated by multiple or forced choice, which may not be relevant for people of other demographics. We report the development, …
Cardiovascular risk among Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal smoking male prisoners
This trial is registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry ACTRN#12606000229572
Tobacco in prisons
Tobacco is integrally bound up in the prison "culture". Our findings are relevant to inform prison health authorities concerned with improving the health of prisoners, and for support organisations attempting to facilitate smoking cessation both in prison and after release. Smoking cessation programmes in prisons should be tailored to the unique stresses of the prison environment. Programmes need to acknowledge the difficulties of quitting smokin…
The Long and the Short of It
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether the strategies people use to cope with stress were associated with differing serotonin transporter (5-HTT) genotypes. The short (s) variant of the 5-HTT promoter polymorphism has been associated with an increased likelihood of depression after significant life stress and greater emotional reactivity to fear-invoking stimuli. METHODS: Coping strategies were assessed within a longitudinal study in 1993. Ten years later…
Emotional and physical health benefits of expressive writing
Writing about traumatic, stressful or emotional events has been found to result in improvements in both physical and psychological health, in non-clinical and clinical populations. In the expressive writing paradigm, participants are asked to write about such events for 15–20 minutes on 3–5 occasions. Those who do so generally have significantly better physical and psychological outcomes compared with those who write about neutral topics. Here we…
