Understanding and preventing mental health difficulties in young Australian men using the Internet

心理健康是澳大利亚的一个主要公共卫生问题。年轻人特别容易受到自杀、吸毒和酗酒问题的影响，但他们却没有寻求适当的帮助。目前有85%的澳大利亚青年使用互联网，但几乎没有证据表明互联网有能力吸引青年男子参与和促进寻求帮助。这个项目将建立一个证据基础，探索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，并改善年轻男子的心理健康结果。

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.
