Summary
Methamphetamine dependence is a key public health priority and men who have sex with men are identified as a priority population. Our partnership will develop interventions which will be linked to the cohort data to permit us to monitor the impact on health outcomes and access to care and support over time. The findings will support the process of creating and evaluating innovations with the ultimate goal of improving access to care and support and reducing dependence and its harmful outcomes.

Summary
Almost 5000 adolescents and young adults (AYAs) in Australia were diagnosed with cancer in the last 5 years, and many will survive well into adulthood. Survival does not mean AYAs return to their former state of health. They need support to manage the detrimental effects of their cancer experience - support that is scarce in this country. This project tests a lifestyle program to address this issue. We aim to ensure young people who survive cancer have the same quality of life as their peers.
