Mental health is a major public health problem in Australia. Young men are particularly vulnerable to suicide, drug and alcohol problems and yet fail to seek appropriate help. The Internet is currently accessed by 85% of Australia's youth and yet very little evidence exists which examines the capacity of the Internet to engage young men and promote help seeking. This project will build an evidence base which explores how innovative on-line strategies and social marketing can effectively promote help seeking behaviour and improve mental health outcomes for young men.

心理健康是澳大利亚的一个主要公共卫生问题。青年男子特别容易出现自杀、吸毒和酗酒问题，但却没有寻求适当的帮助。目前，澳大利亚85%的青年人都能上网，但很少有证据表明互联网能够吸引青年男子并促进寻求帮助。该项目将建立一个证据库，探讨创新的在线战略和社会营销如何有效地促进寻求帮助的行为，并改善青年男子的心理健康结果。
