Turning them on: engaging young people in disrupting silences about their sexual wellbeing. This project will investigate what young people think they should be taught in school-based sexuality education programs. This information will inform the re-design of these programs and promote the sexual health of the next generation of Australians.
Psychosocial intervention to improve psychological and quality of life outcomes after cancer. Chronic diseases such as cancer have long-term negative effects on the quality of life of not only patients but also their carers. This project will develop effective ways to support individuals and carers to achieve optimal psychological and quality of life outcomes in the face of serious illness.
Enhancing health literacy to optimise health equality across Victorian communities. Health literacy—the ability to seek, understand and use health information—is a major influence on equitable health outcomes for Australians. This project will take a fresh approach to health literacy to understand vulnerable members of our community and develop supports and interventions that aim to assist services to reduce health inequalities.
