Study Purpose/Description

The research is testing a questionnaire tool designed to explore the knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding sexual health and HIV transmission. This study will help researchers develop strategies to enhance health outcomes and reduce risks, focusing on sexually transmitted infections and blood-borne viruses in Australian-born males.

What’s Involved?

Taking part in this study involves:

Completing an anonymous 20-minute online survey about your knowledge, attitudes and behaviours related to your sexual health, and
Completing the same online survey two weeks (2) weeks after the initial survey.

This will allow the research team to compare participant responses at two different points in time.

Recruitment criteria

The study is open to people who:

Are male
Were born in Australia
Have been to Southeast Asia within the past 5 years

Benefits

Each participant who completes the second online survey can choose to enter a draw to win one in four $50 gift cards.

The Join Us Register Acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands across Australia as the continuing custodians of Country and acknowledge the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of this land. We pay our respect to First Nations peoples and Elders, past and present.

We acknowledge and celebrate the knowledge and the strengths of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities and recognise their continuing connection to land and waters.

We thank the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and the many individuals, organisations that have supported and guided us through our journey.

There is a huge opportunity to partner more with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to build on existing community strengths and resilience, often in the face of ongoing inequities. Through Join Us, we will work together in the spirit of reciprocity to address ongoing impacts of colonisation so that we can all realise optimal health and wellbeing.
