1 A Perspective from. your Trans-Tasman Mates - The Freemasons Foundation Centre for Men s Health Experience Prof Gary Wittert Freemasons Foundation Centre for Men s Health Research, University of Adelaide South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute
2 Outline Why a dedicated men s health centre? Origins and evolution Structure and governance People Research and research translation Collaborative networks Funding
3 Men s health Encompasses all conditions or diseases that are either unique or more prevalent in men, with particular biological and psycho-social risk factors and for which different behavioural or medical interventions are required. Based on British Health Development Agency 2001
4 The male health disadvantage ABS 2016
5 Men have higher mortality rates cf woment 1400 Age Standardised Death Rate / 100, Metro males Rural remote Lower SES Aboriginal Female
6 Indirect Economic Consequences 6
7 Men and Health Service Use: False Facts (FF) FF 1 Men are neglectful of their health FF 2 Men don t go to the Doctor FF 3 Men don t talk to their Doctor FF 4. The problem is masculinity
8 Percent Men are not generally neglectful of their health Concerned about heath Motivated to improve health Florey Adelaide Male Ageing Study SA Men s Health Services Preferences Survey: FFCMH / SA Health 2012; 2109 men
9 Health Services - Less Satisfactory Outcomes for Men Shorter consults (~ 2 mins) than for females from 15+ years Patient Experiences in Australia: ABS, ; AIHW: Ch 14 Consultation time and GP satisfaction Attention to other health concerns GP visits less so for preventative health Other health concerns often not addressed
10 Men tend to self-monitor Taking action is based on Previous illness experience Knowledge, health literacy Perceived illness severity Perceived priorities Access to and nature of available service Smith & Wittert et al, 2008a; 2008b
11 Men will talk about their health In the right environment and if the conversation is appropriately facilitated Convey a sense of time available to talk Adopt a frank approach & ask directly Show competence, empathy Use humour thoughtfully Resolve health issues promptly Smith and Wittert, 2008a; 2008b
12 Young Men - poorer Health Literacy than young women Health literacy is about how people understand health information, use it to make informed decisions, and how they act upon these decisions to manage their health and well-being 41% of Australians aged had a level of health literacy that was adequate or above. Lower health literacy disadvantaged areas and areas outside Major cities poorer self-assessed health status AIHW, Australia's Health in 2012 ISSN Health Literacy, Australia, ABS 2006 % of people with adequate or better Health Literacy Men with Low health literacy Less likely to be diagnosed with OSA Li et al, Sleep 2013;37:
13 Some disorders present differently in men 59% of depression in men undiagnosed Despite men with depression symptoms being more frequent GP attenders than men without such symptoms (OR:3.2; 95%CI: )
14 Masculinity is a solution not a problem Concerns may relate more role efficacy As husband/partner As a father In the work place As a provider Maintenance of independence 14
15 Why a Centre for Men s Health Men behave differently, not badly. Health services need to respond accordingly Freemasons Foundation Centre for Men's Health
16 Strategies to optimise Health Care for men Design health services to accommodate needs and preferences of men. Communicate with men in a gender appropriate manner. Embrace masculinity Emphasise responsibility, problem-solving and self-management. Masculinise Physical environment, Facilitate anonymity Extended clinic hours Facilitate time off work for health checks Support the preference for self-monitoring and facilitate self management Improve health literacy Male-relevant health messaging E-health (evidence-based websites, APPs) 16
