A men’s health 
edition of Health 
Check has been 
on our radar for 
some time, so I am 
pleased this issue 
has been able to 
highlight research 
being undertaken 
at Griffith Health.
self-preservation 
has never been a particularly notable 
aspect of masculinity and our modern 
world has provided maleness with a 
smorgasboard of unhealthy options to 
make the situation worse.
According to the Australian Bureau of 
statistics men live 4.5 years less than 
women, are three times more likely to die 
in a car accident or get skin cancer, twice 
as likely to get Parkinson’s disease, lung 
cancer or ischaemic heart disease and four 
times more likely to die by suicide.
The poor choices men make such as 
unhealthy dietary habits, lack of exercise, 
over indulgence in alcohol, cigarettes  and 
risk-taking behaviour, make a significant 
contribution to poor life outcomes. It is 
time that men, particularly as role-models, 
make better health choices. For this to 
occur we need to understand masculinity 
in the 21st century and their changing 
societal role.
This issue of health Check addresses a 
number of studies being undertaken 
within Griffith Health that will provide 
information and useful intervention 
strategies to not only improve male 
health outcomes, but also understand 
male communication and responses to 
health challenges.
The research highlighted in Health 
Check provides a way of reaching into 
the lives of men and encouraging the 
kinds of changes and therapies which will 
hopefully one day lead to improved health 
outcomes for men.
I remind readers the Gold Coast Health 
and Medical Research Conference will 
take place on November 28 & 29 at 
the QT Hotel in surfers Paradise. The 
theme of this year’s conference is Chronic 
Disease – Prevention and Improving 
Health Outcomes. 
The balance 
between genetic 
and acquired 
disease is at the 
root of a lot of our 
health and medical 
research. In the 
21st century, 
men are situated 
at the apex of 
these disease 
acquisition modes and appear uniquely 
ill-equipped to deal with them.
We are increasingly finding that gender 
can be a huge determinant in a person’s 
health outcomes, from the micro to the 
social level.
Being a researcher at GHI offers researchers 
the incredible opportunity to be part of 
multi-disciplinary teams that can really pull 
apart a problem from a number of different 
areas. Just reading this edition of Health 
Check points to perspectives on health 
issues I would never have considered.
At the Heart Foundation we have been 
exploring the various influences on 
cardiovascular health from a biomedical 
perspective, seeking therapies and cures 
at a molecular level. This can be such close 
and detailed work we sometimes neglect 
to look up and notice there are social 
determinants, economic determinants or 
psychological determinants all contributing 
to unhealthy men.
One of the things we can’t get past is 
the evolutionary determinants. A species 
refined to hunt things and defend the 
village can find itself out of time when 
hunting PDFs for a family that can take 
care of itself. Mass production means mass 
consumption and a species that moves less, 
consumes more and is less relevant than 
ever will find itself in trouble.
Recently, funding for research into 
health conditions suffered by men has 
far outweighed that given to research on 
conditions suffered by women. However 
one of the great pieces in this Health Check 
is about a recent article by John Headrick in 
which he point out that while men are 
far more likely to acquire conditions like 
diabetes, women are more likely to die 
from its complications.
I hope you enjoy this Health Check.

For twenty one years Griffith university 
has been a richer place for having world 
renowned geneticist, Professor Lyn Griffiths 
as part of the Griffith team.  This August 
we farewelled Professor Griffiths as she 
took up her new role as executive Director 
of the Institute of Health and Biomedical 
Innovation at QuT.
she will long be remembered for her brilliant 
research skills, peerless enthusiasm for 
medical science at Griffith, ability to inspire 
those around her and commitment to the 
Gold Coast campus.
Professor Griffiths joined Griffith university 
as a lecturer in 1992, in the school of 
engineering and Applied science.  Her 
passion for teaching and research saw her 
career quickly progress becoming Head, 
school of Health science between 1995 
and 2000 and school of Medical science 
between 2004 and 2007.
she was instrumental in the establishment 
of the Griffith Health Institute, particularly 
the Molecular Basis of Disease Research 
Program and in 2007 became the Institute’s 
director .
still an avid researcher, Professor Griffiths 
was the first in the world to show that 
migraine has a strong genetic component 
and subsequently her research team have 
identified a number of genes that play a role 
in migraine. 
Over the past six months the staff and academics from Health 
Group have been receiving awards and accolades all over the 
country. sometime we can be too busy working to blow our own 
horns, but here are some people who really should be saluted.

Professor Griffiths found the severity, 
frequency and pain associated with migraine 
could be reduced in about 20 percent of 
sufferers through a nutraceutical treatment. 
Her lab is currently in the third and final 
phase of a migraine clinical trial which should 
see a new nutraceutical treatment available 
to the public in the next 12 months or so
During her 20 years in the Griffith labs, 
Professor Griffiths published 245 papers, 
supervised over 30 postgraduate students 
to completion and was awarded more than 
$20M in competitive grants and industry 
funding.  she is currently a member of a 
number of ARC panels a member of the 
NHMRC Academy and Fellowships Panel and 
also the current Chair of the Qld Institutes 
of Health.

A research project looking for solutions to 
children’s phobias has been recognised as 
among the university’s best at the Vice 
Chancellor’s Research excellence Awards.
The study by the Griffith Health Institute’s 
Behavioural Basis of Health Research group 
is lead by Associate Professor Allison Waters 
and includes researchers from Griffith’s 
schools of Applied Psychology, Medicine 
and Pharmacy.
The group is also internationally collaborating 
with The Child study Center at Virginia Tech 
in the usA. 
Associate Professor Waters is hoping 
the study, could be a breakthrough in 
helping children and their worried parents 
overcome debilitating fears, which can lead 
to life-long anxiety and other problems if 
left untreated.
“Approximately 80% of adult phobias 
develop in childhood and about 12% 
of all children develop some kind of 
phobia,” she said
“Approximately 140 children from 
Brisbane and the Gold Coast are taking 
part in the study, which is developing 
therapies to assist children to overcome 
anxieties as quickly as possible.
“The researchers based at Mt Gravatt, 
are focusing on a computer-based 
attention-focusing program to 
enhance a single session of exposure 
therapy by helping children control 
which stimuli in their environment 
they give their attention to.”
exposure therapy, as the name 
suggest, is where children are exposed 
to the causes of their anxiety in a 
controlled environment designed to 
allow the children to confront their 
fear, control their reaction to it and 
quickly overcome it all together.
The Gold Coast group, lead by 
Dr Lara Farrell, are using an 
antibiotic traditionally used to 
cure tuberculosis (D-Cycloserine), 
but has been discovered to improve 
the brain’s learning receptors. 
The Vice Chancellor’s awards honour 
the best in Griffith research.
The Palestinian-Australian, mother of two 
came to the attention of academic staff 
almost immediately as a student with 
a sharp mind and not shy of asking a 
question or three.
Ms Al-Maani’s honours supervisor, Dr 
Donna McDonald became impressed with 
how prepared Ms Al-Maani was to apply 
her learning.
“she took every opportunity to walk 
the talk, whether it was working with her
community or policy development project 
work,” said Dr McDonald.
“Her world view is very broad, it’s not 
hemmed in by her community, as can 
sometimes happen with people from 
small, but highly connected communities. 
Her work rate was phenomenal.”
Ms Al-Maani paid tribute to her 
supportive family for helping her through 
her academic years.
The Lesley Chenoweth award will be 
presented annually.

Tackling our 
children’s  
deepest fears
Griffith university has honoured one of 
its top students with its inaugural Lesley 
Chenoweth award for social justice and 
equity.
susan Al-Maani is an honours graduate from 
the school of Human services and social 
Work, whose tireless community work 
matched her focused academic output, 
making her a sure bet for the award.
As well as completing full-time study, 
Ms Al-Maani works in community 
development, awareness and advocacy and 
assists Palestinian groups raise money for 
programs to help women and children in the 
occupied territories. 
In 2012 she raised over $60,000 in 
conjunction with other local organisations 
for a program to buy sewing machines so 
women, who would otherwise be on the 
street, would have a chance to become 
self-sustainable. 
“My passion is to create awareness and 
advocate for women’s rights and I’m also 
interested in early intervention programs 
targeting domestic violence and child abuse.”

The Annual Hope4Health Jazz Dinner 
Dance has built on previous years of 
success to deliver a stunning night of 
entertainment and raise tens of thousands 
of dollars to support health programs in 
Papua New Guinea.
Hope4Health (H4H)hold the Jazz Dinner 
Dance to raise money for projects they can 
also support with their time and currently 
they are raising money to support a clinic 
and medical placements in remote western 
Papua New Guinea.
Held at the Marriot Ballroom on the Gold 
Coast in september, guests were presented 
with an array of high end donated items to 
bid on, from paintings to overseas holidays. 
Pro Vice Chancellor (Health), Allan Cripps 
also spoke of his time in Papua New Guinea 
as a young researcher and how important 
the experience was in forging his future 
professional goals.
“The last two dances were a big step up so 
we’re really pleased to have been able to 
raise over $20,000 for the PNG project,” 
said H4H president, skyle Murphy.
“Whether it’s helping to pay for 
equipment or getting medical students 
over there and assisting with basic 
primary health needs, it proves that 
even as a student you can make a 
change.
“We send around 16 people over there 
to complete medical placements and 
these are just as valuable to us as the 
communities. In PNG a student will 
come across things they’d never see 
in a local hospital, its very hands on.”
As well as an action packed dance 
floor, the live auction saw some very 
spirited and competitive bidding with 
bruised egos helping to push prices up.
Hope4Health will send resources and 
students to remote clinics in Kiunga 
and Rumginae in the western province 
of PNG where there are high rates of 
infectious diseases, malnutrition, poor 
maternal health and traumatic injuries.

Moving from a clinical background to 
teaching can be a very difficult transition 
for Health professionals.
Now a new book, Educating Health 
Professionals: Becoming a University 
Teacher, co- edited by Professor elaine 
Duffy, Head of Nursing and Midwifery at 
Griffith university, will help them make 
the transition from clinic to classroom.
The book is an attempt to help 
professionals consider the kind of 
students they’ll be teaching, the kind of 
workforce they will be sending them into, 
the systems that workforce operates in 
and whether their graduates have the 
skills to adapt and advocate for reform in 
the health system.
“The future of health care is preventative 
and collaborative, so the future 
health professional needs to have 
the knowledge of what other health 
professionals can offer to form effective 
teams,” said Professor Duffy.
Teaching future health professionals “Advocacy is important, leadership is important. Contemporary teachers 
need to understand that our future 
professionals need the skills to engage 
in those areas. 
“Primary health care is the key to an 
effective health care system in which 
prevention is the focus.
“Health systems and services 
must come from the needs of the 
community, families and patients, not 
the professionals down; it’s a method 
of analyses which must be taught.” 
she said.
As well as editing, Professor Duffy 
has also contributed two chapters 
to the book including one on 
Indigenous issues in health education, 
co-authored with Indigenous nurse, 
academic and researcher, Mr. Wayne 
(Colin) Rigby.
“We still struggle with racism, like 
many others and like any institution we 
still struggle to be flexible with people 
who may arrive at the same conclusion 
from a different path. Hopefully this 
book will help with some of those 
issues.” said Professor Duffy

Australia has a dire need for surgeons, 
however the path into the profession 
can be less than clear with a Bachelor 
of Medicine only the beginning of 
the road. 
In more established cities, student 
surgical associations can become 
an important link between the 
profession and the school,  helping 
students complete the extra learning 
they need and make the all important 
contacts in the profession.
In 2012 Griffith university medical 
student, elliot Dolan-evans got sick 
of trying to peer into a cloud and 
formed surgia, Queensland’s only 
student surgical society. It won 
the Business Group’s innovation 
challenge at the end of that year.
“As a medical student really keen 
on becoming a surgeon it was 
frustrating that the next step was 
so opaque. I looked around at what 
was happening in other states and 
their student surgical associations 
were very important, not just social 
clubs,” he said.
“Our organisation is in constant 
contact with the Royal Australian 
College of surgeons (RACs), we run 
workshops, skills evenings, lectures 
and symposia. It also connects us 
to the events being run at RACs 
Queensland and their evolving 
positions relating to skills and 
industry development.
“I think it’s especially important for 
women to join surgia. There are 
very few women surgeons and little 
encouragement from the industry 
so women tend to turn away from 
it, that’s not good for the medical 
system and patients.”
A report released by RACs in 2011 
found the industry had 4089 
practicing surgeons nationwide and 
expected over one third to retire 
by 2025. The number of surgeons 
entering the fellowship needed to 
increase by a third just to maintain 
current numbers. That could mean 
some cultural change.
A new partnership between Griffith Health 
Institute (GHI) and The salvation Army is set 
go beyond the surface of child protection 
and look at the causes of why some children 
and families struggle to succeed.
Lead by Associate Professor Kym 
Macfarlane, the Griffith university/
salvation Army Knowledge partnership will 
see the creation of the uncle Barry Watson 
Research Chair and be backed by the 
Federal Department of Families, Housing, 
Community services and Indigenous 
Affairs (FaHCsIA).
The funding of child and family services 
has changed since Nobel Prize winning 
economist, Professor James Heckman from 
university of Chicago found a significant 
improvement in the success of social 
programs could be accompanied by savings 
in costs if the money was directed early at 
families and young children.
“As one of the leading providers of social 
services to young and struggling families, 
the salvation Army need to be at the 
front line of what programs they should be 
offering, what skills their staff need, what 
training they may require and how they 
evaluate their success,” said Dr Macfarlane.
“We’re combining the research and 
assessment strengths of the university with 
the coal face programs run by the salvos to 
improve the outcomes for families.” 
The agreement has been nearly a year in 
the making after the university approached 
the salvation Army with some of their 
research findings and asked them to be 
involved in the longer program. 
 “It really points to a need for social programs 
to have a strong research component 
attached to them, not only so they can 
constantly improve, but so they can easily 
communicate the value of their work,” said 
Dr Macfarlane.

In an upcoming article in the American 
Journal of Physiology, a team including 
Griffith Health Institute (GHI) scientist 
Professor John Headrick, highlights 
disproportionate funding for cardiovascular 
research focussed on males when in certain 
areas it should be the other way around.
“Till now the vast majority of biomedical 
research, and research funding, has 
focussed on males - be it male patients, 
male animal models, or tissue sourced from 
males”, said Professor Headrick
“This is in part because males may exhibit 
more risk factors for and incidence of heart 
disease and diabetes earlier in life. But the 
fact is women are much more likely to 
suffer negative consequences of diabetes 
than men, and we really don’t know why.”
Current research figures say women 
without diabetes have a 20% less chance 
of developing cardiovascular disease than 
men, and enjoy a ten year advantage over 
men in developing heart disease.
However, if they develop diabetes, women 
have a 30-35% greater chance of dying 
from a heart attack or heart failure than 
diabetic men. Compared to non-diabetic 
women, the likelihood of dying from a heart 
condition rises five-fold.
“Add ageing to that situation and it’s more 
likely again. Yet suddenly we have found 
ourselves knowing very little about one 
of the leading causes of death in older 
women,” said Professor Headrick.
“Both the elderly and females are under-
represented in clinical trials and in basic 
cardiovascular research, which is a real 
problem.” 
The researchers believe much of what we 
have learned over the last thirty years 
needs to be re-examined and re-tested 
across gender and age-groups to find out 
if previous clinical trial failures were actually 
just failures in specific sub-groups.
The $1.76b Gold Coast university Hospital 
has finally opened its doors to the community 
and Griffith is ready to partner alongside in a 
vast range of collaborative initiatives.
Over 170 collaborative activities have 
been developed with the Gold Coast Health 
service in a bid to improve health care 
outcomes for patients.
Ranging from extensive research 
collaborations with the Griffith Health 
Institute, to expanding student study 
placements and innovative teaching and 
learning initiatives, both institutions plan to 
leverage the best from each other.
“The Griffith Health Institute is the Gold 
Coast university Hospital’s major research 
partner, engaging in active, state-of-the-
art research collaboration and research 
training,”said acting director of the Griffith 
Health Institute Professor David shum. 
“Co-location of the hospital with the Griffith 
Health Institute at Griffith’s Gold Coast 
campus is fantastic.
“The research studies that we have in place 
with the Gold Coast university Hospital 
recognise the essential benefits of patient-
centred and translational research.
“The collaborative grants we have in place 
with the Gold Coast Hospital Foundation 
offer researchers from both institutions 
the opportunity to join forces, develop a 
collaborative relationship and tap into the 
unique environment where researchers, 
health professionals and patients are 
connected – three vital components to 
effective and progressive health research.”
Research studies are many and diverse 
and include areas such as treatment 
for paediatric obsessive compulsive disorder 
(OCD), identifying the genes responsible for 
colorectal cancer and developing strategies 
for medical staff to ensure care during a 
hospital relocation.
Meanwhile, the university has a large number 
of student placements planned at the new 
hospital, ranging from but not limited to, 
nursing and midwifery, speech pathology 
and occupational therapy (due to begin at 
Griffith in 2014), to psychology and nutrition 
and dietetics.

students completing a Bachelor 
of Midwifery at Griffith university 
have welcomed a decision by the 
Queensland Government to fund 
training placements with private 
midwifery practitioners, a move 
which should boost training and 
employment outcomes.
Over a 150 midwifery students 
met on the Logan campus and 
were addressed by the program 
director, Professor Jenny Gamble, 
Queensland Health Director of 
Nursing and Midwifery Padraic 
O’Luanaigh and midwifery 
advocate, Liz Wilkes.
“For Australia, a health and 
midwifery system to exist on the 
tidal movements of employment 
opportunities in the public 
health and hospital system  is 
unsustainable and will restrict 
midwives opportunities to fulfil 
their potential,” said Professor Gamble.
“It’s not actually about midwives, 
the big issue is access for women 
to midwives. If we just rely on the 
public system it will never happen 
fast enough and support will be 
whimsical. We must embrace the 
private system as well.”
For many years the health sector 
and government projections have 
indicated Australia needed to begin 
training many more midwives than 
presently to keep up with demand. 
“The fact is, there will be a huge 
shortage of midwives in the next 
three to six years as we support the 
changes to the Continuity of Care 
model,” said Mr O’Luanaigh.
The Continuity of Care model places 
midwives as the primary contact for 
women during pregnancy, birth and 
following birth. studies have found 
this significantly reduces costs and 
stress to women and improves health 
outcomes for babies.
“Part of being a midwife is being 
political and sometimes that means 
standing up and being influential. We 
expect our students to ask questions 
and take up that reform agenda,” 
said Professor Gamble.
Midwifery find places with the private system
Midwifery student attending placement symposium
A partnership began back in the 1990s 
when an Indonesian student in Australia, 
Dr Budi Laksono, concluded from his local 
medical practice that it was lack of sanitation 
that was holding rural Indonesian’s back. 
Kids too sick to attend school, end up 
dropping out completely; parents who 
struggle to complete a weeks work because 
of regular gastroenteritis find it difficult to 
feed their families and the knot of poverty 
tightens.
In some areas, 90% of rural Indonesian’s 
do not have any sanitation. Gastrointestinal 
infections are thought to account for over 
165,000 deaths a year with diarrhoea the 
major cause of infant mortality (31%).
The answer, for Dr Laksono and his then 
supervisor, now project partner, Professor 
Don stewart, was latrines. Made of local, 
inexpensive materials, they needed to be 
adaptable, easy to produce, good in wet or 
dry seasons and easy to maintain.
The project has recently attracted over 
$700,000 funding from swiss Bank 
philanthropy, uBs Optimus Foundation to 
complete scientific testing of the latrines 
effectiveness.
“Technically, the design works and, as a 
result of local village input, it satisfies the 
critical cultural and social requirements of 
defecation in the rural environment; and 
seasonal changes in water supply,” said 
Professor stewart.
The team expects to see a significant rise in 
calorie and protein intake for the children of 
the area, which they hope will translate into 
improved growth and development, greater 
school attendance and increased energy and 
capacity to attend in class.
The GHI/uNDIP latrine project will get 
underway in the last quarter of 2013.

Men’s Health Issue
Hydrating beer may keep us safe and avoid a hang over
Before our landscape became littered 
with brightly coloured lolly water and 
protein drinks, there were two fluids a 
sportsman or tradesman drank, water 
and beer.
While water keeps you hydrated it has 
no nutrients and tends to go out as fast 
as it goes in. sometimes a salt tablet 
was added and in the 90s this salt 
picked up the name electrolyte.
Beer, on the other hand has lots of 
nutrients but also contains alcohol, 
which means it goes out faster than 
water and has all sorts of side effects.
Associate Professor Ben Desbrow 
from GHI’s Centre for Health Practice 
Innovation was determined to combine 
the health effects of one with the 
desirability of the other. 
“We basically manipulated the 
electrolyte levels of two commercial 
beers, one regular strength and one 
light beer and gave it to research 
subjects who’d just lost a significant 
amount of sweat by exercising. We 
then used several measures to monitor 
the participant’s fluid recovery to the 
different beers,” he said.
“Of the four different beers the 
subjects consumed, our augmented 
light beer was by far the most well 
retained by the body, meaning it was 
the most effective at rehydrating the 
subjects.”
The “improved” light beer was actually 
a third more effective at hydrating a 
person than normal beer.
Neither GHI nor Associate Professor 
Desbrow think it a good idea to drink 
beer after strenuous exercise.
“Definitely not, but what we’ve found 
is that many people who sweat a lot, 
especially tradesmen, knock off work

Dr stephen Lamar in India
An Indian non-governmental 
organisation (NGO) helping people 
with AIDs and a Griffith social Work 
researcher have formed a unique 
partnership in Hyderabad.
Australia’s response to the AIDs 
epidemic of the 1980’s has become 
a fireside war story. In other nations, 
the battle continues, but with many 
more people needing fewer available 
resources and confronting entrenched 
social stigmas.
since 2006 Dr stephen Lamar from the 
school of Human services and social 
Work at Logan has been working with 
an NGO in Hyderabad called Jeevanam, 
From Logan to Hyderabad, a partnership blooms which assists people in the city’s slums and outlying villages infected with HIV. 
Get access to services and education 
in the management of their condition.
“India is still a very conservative country 
and many people in the areas in which 
Jeevanam work are not well educated 
about how diseases are transmitted, 
sometimes even the doctors. People 
who contract AIDs are generally very 
badly stigmatised,” said Dr Lamar.
“Like most community-based health 
services they are running on passion 
and while they’re doing great work 
this can sometimes lead to a lack of 
reflection of their services because 
‘who has the time’?
“In some organisations this leads to a 
lack of responsiveness to the changing 
needs of their core clients,” he said.
From the beginning Dr Lamar has been 
careful to ensure both sides of the 
research gain a benefit and that his 
findings reach the ground both here 
and in India.
“This kind of research and partnership 
can definitely benefit organisations 
all over the world, including Australia, 
but its primary importance is to the 
people in India.”
“Impulsive young men on the other hand 
were quite reasonable when driving in 
normal, calm conditions, but the moment 
they became irritated by the provocative 
behaviour of a nearby driver, they began 
taking more risks.”
This was magnified by a particular task, 
which involved two cars merging into a single 
lane after a set of lights. At some point the 
driver must choose to slow and give way to 
the car next to them, or try and race them.
“The differences in the merging scenario 
were polarised, the young men just could 
not bring themselves to be less aggressive. 
As their anger surged the erratic nature of 
their risk-taking increased.
“It was the one scenario where a real gulf 
existed between the two groups, the young 
men’s anger was clearly motivational in 
nature,” said Dr Hine.
The study groups completed an impulsivity 
questionnaire, and a driving behaviour 
survey before being put through a number 
of immersive driving simulations which 
created cool (neutral) or hot (frustrating) 
scenarios.
Male drivers  
get angry
A study on adolescent drivers by researchers 
from the Griffith Health Institute’s (GHI) 
Behavioural Basis of Health research 
program has found impulsive young male 
drivers are far more influenced by anger 
than impulsive young women.
The program, run by Dr Trevor Hine, honours 
student Bonnie Ingram and Associate 
Professor Ian Glendon, tested 52 people 
in a driving simulator to discern people’s 
responses to programmed scenarios.
How anger affected the driving of young 
men and women was distinct and provides 
researchers with further fuel to examine 
this relationship.
“The impulsive young women drove 
carelessly and  took unnecessary risks, but 
anger didn’t change their driving much at 
all,” said Dr Hine.

Prompted by a curious lack of statistics 
on suicide in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, 
Transgender, and Intersex (LGBTI) 
communities researchers from Australian 
Institute for suicide Research and 
Prevention (AIsRAP) are undertaking 
extensive research to find the true 
picture.
Led by Dr Delaney skerrett, AIsRAP’s 
research will aim is to determine if a person’s 
sexuality or gender identity had an impact 
on their decision to take their own life.
“Our study is the first in approximately 
30 years to investigate the factors 
surrounding suicide deaths in LGBTI 
people and the first ever in Australia,” 
said Dr skerrett.
“People in rural and remote areas are 
at an increased risk, as are Aboriginal 
people and Torres straight Islanders. 
We know about the isolation people 
can feel in those communities and we 
know people with gender and sexuality 
identity issues will feel that isolation 
most of all.”
Research to revise lGBTI suicide rates
Gay men are also known to suffer high 
rates of depression, engage in risky 
behaviour, abuse alcohol and drugs and 
many also internalise feelings of shame 
about their sexuality. Together they 
represent a cocktail of risks associated 
with an increased likelihood of suicide.
Dr skerrett has gone back to complete 
interviews with the families and partners 
who have agreed to be part of the study.
It means going over a situation which 
could be very painful for people, but 
Dr skerrett is focussed on ensuring 
the greatest opportunity for a positive 
outcome.
“This is obviously not an unusual 
situation for a researcher at AIsRAP, but 
these sessions are not just information 
gathering, they need to be positive for 
both parties,” he said. 
If you know an LGBTI person who 
has died by suicide and would like to 
participate in this study, please contact 
Dr Delaney skerrett on (07) 3735 3393 
or d.skerrett@griffith.edu.au. 
After fighting off prostate cancer 
and beginning the road to recovery, 
many men are finding the expense 
of cancer treatment is almost as big 
a challenge as the disease. 
A study of over 900 men conducted 
by Cancer Council Queensland, 
Griffith university and Prostate 
Cancer Foundation of Australia 
found men were often slugged up 
to $6,000 in unexpected medical 
fees and tests.
At the heart of this problem 
was a confusing and stressful 
post-diagnosis period, in which 
treatments are agreed to without 
understanding the greater costs.
Dr Louisa Gordon, a senior research 
fellow with the Griffith Health Institute 
(GHI), found many men were left angry 
and frustrated by a treatment process 
which many felt was not adequately 
explained by doctors and felt rushed 
to make decisions which would have a 
profound impact on their lives and the 
lives of their families.
“Men receive a diagnosis of prostate 
cancer and they just hope that the 
doctors can fix them so they won’t 
die. They are not thinking about 
their finances,” said Dr Gordon.
“The medical system, whether public 
or private, needs to become a lot 
more transparent and informative 
so people can make informed 
choices during a stressful time.”
“Men with private health insurance 
are often shocked and angry when 
they receive huge bills, even after 
paying their insurance for 20 years, 
but this is very common.”
 “These issues can end up being less 
about economics, than emotions 
and relationships, so men and their 
partners really need to get as much 
information as possible so they can 
be supported and concentrate on 
getting better.”
Prostate cancer can be expensive and confusing

Popular wisdom and much social-
psychological literature suggests men 
have an aversion to talking about 
emotions, especially when it might 
cause them to appear vulnerable. 
This is typically reported as being 
particularly characteristic of men’s 
platonic interactions with other men.
The reason is often suggested as 
being either; because men lack the 
ability to properly articulate internal 
emotional states (a phenomenon called 
alexithymia), or because of a fear that 
discussing vulnerable emotions may 
lead others to perceive them as being 
weak or feminine. 
However, a body of research has been 
developing since the 1980s suggesting 
men do communicate about topics 
which may expose some emotional 
vulnerability.
For example, male participants in 
several studies reported discussing 
topics such as their wives, children and

thoughts about retirement, as well as 
relationship and sexual difficulties.
Clinical psychology PhD student Ben 
Walters and supervisor, Dr stefano 
Occhipinti, want to find out more.
“There’s often a general assumption 
that traditional verbal expression is a 
more effective way to demonstrate 
closeness than non-traditional 
methods. We want to figure out if this 
is true,” said Mr Walters.
Their research is investigating 
the possibility that men who 
are uncomfortable employing 
direct methods of expressing 
emotionally vulnerable concepts 
may use alternative methods to 
communicate these, such as engaging 
in shared activities, using teasing/
banter and offering instrumental 
support (favours). 
This research is also investigating the 
degree to which these alternative 
methods of expression satisfy men’s 
need for catharsis and interpersonal 
connectedness.
Mr Walters and Dr Occhipinti are 
looking for volunteers. If you or your 
male friends would like to participate 
in this research, please contact Ben at 
b.walters@griffith.edu.au.
There are few people who have undergone 
radiotherapy and chemotherapy who 
would describe it as anything less than 
awful, both the disease and the side-
effects of the treatment.
Men with prostate cancer undergo unique 
psychological and physical barriers to 
maximising their health, but a Griffith 
Health Institute (GHI) study has found 
exercise may play a vital role for men, 
especially if it is tailored to the individual.
A team from GHI’s Behavioural Basis of 
Health research group led by Associate 
Professor Liisa Laakso, collaborated with 
the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital 
to develop programs which would 
motivate very sick men to get up and do 
some exercise.
The results were significant rises in physical 
health, mental health and cognitive ability.
“It was an utterly perfect outcome in 
gauging the improvement in motivation, 
an improvement in quality of life,” said 
Associate Professor Laakso.
“Obviously this is not about making people 
fit and active, it’s about getting very sick 
men engaged in activity, which is not 
directly related to their treatment.
“Cancer treatment is such an all consuming 
thing that patients often think about little 
else, everything is very close up.
“The right kind of exercise clears the 
mind for a short time, gets the serotonin 
going and obviously has the usual physical 
benefits, the trick is, finding the right kind 
of exercise.”
Three groups participated in two different 
methods; group one did six weeks of 
continuous exercise for 30 minutes, group 
two did Intermittent exercise for an hour. 
The third group did no exercise.
The exercise groups varied in their relative 
physical benefits, but their improvement in 
self motivation and perceived competence 
was a dramatic improvement over men 
who didn’t exercise.

scientists from the Griffith Health Institute 
(GHI) are questioning the role of obesity 
and low testosterone in men.
Reduced testosterone has traditionally 
been believed to be a consequence of 
obesity but the Heart Foundation 
researchers have begun to investigate 
whether reduced testosterone plays a role 
in causing male obesity.
Obesity acts to promote a constellation 
of cardiovascular risks including insulin 
resistance and diabetes. Together they 
constitute the metabolic syndrome,  which 
increases chances of developing coronary 
artery disease (CAD) and suffering a heart 
attack or heart failure.
Insulin resistance and diabetes associated 
with obesity also decreases the heart 
muscle’s ability to withstand a heart attack 
so the heart is also more severely damaged 
after a heart attack in obese people with 
metabolic syndrome
Dr eugene Du Toit and his team have 
explored the effectiveness of selective 
Men who have been sexually abused as 
children are more likely to overcome its 
crippling psychological effects if they 
take practical, positive steps to overcome 
the situation, than those who use 
other methods.
That is among the findings from one 
of Australia’s largest research projects 
into the effects of sexual abuse on 
boys, which included Griffith university 
Professor Patrick O’Leary (Head of the 
school of Humans services and social 
Work) as one of the lead researchers.
“Australian men often fare worse than 
North American men when it comes to 
disclosing the nature of their abuse, it 
just seems to be so much harder for us 
to open up when we are adults,” said 
Professor O‘Leary.
“Therapies which involve just talking about 
problems, don’t seem to wash all that well 
with Australian blokes (compared to Nth 
Americans). The (147) guys we surveyed 
who had done better, had mostly done 
something practical, from reporting the 
perpetrator, bringing charges, informally 
telling friends, but in some way taking 
action.”
such action can be fraught, with many 
survivors reporting their greatest 
difficulties stemmed from not being 
believed when they did take action.
“That situation can be horrific for the boy 
involved, often worse than the abuse 
itself, especially if the abuse occurred in 
institutions,” he said.
It is estimated around 1 in 5 Australian men 
has suffered sexual abuse as a child, which 
is such a significant number Professor 
O’Leary wants to find out more about 
what mechanisms they have used to 
prevent the abuse dominating their lives.
“We need to learn from them, because 
this is pretty huge unknown problem.”

Rethinking testosterone treatment
androgen receptor modulator (sARM) 
therapy for the prevention of obesity and its 
associated insulin resistance and diabetes. 
sARMs have testosterone like effects 
without the adverse effects associated 
with testosterone use. They believe that 
the prevention of obesity with sARM 
therapy may prevent insulin resistance, and 
reduce the chances of developing CAD and 
suffering a heart attack. 
“The therapeutic usefulness of testosterone 
is questionable, since it increases the 
likelihood of an enlarged prostate 
(hyperplasia) and polycythemia (an increase 
in red blood cells), so we are exploring a 
replacement therapy devoid of side effects” 
said Dr Du Toit.
“This obesity prevention approach has been 
both interesting and challenging. Hormone 
interactions are very complex and maintain 
a delicate balance which may be disturbed 
by this type of treatment. 
“This new approach to obesity and CAD 
prevention has shown promise, but it’s 
early days.”

Griffith Health Institute (GHI) 
researchers have discussed, in 
a recent article published in the 
Lancet Infectious Diseases, a new 
HIV epidemic on Australia’s doorstep, 
with rates of men contracting HIV 
skyrocketing in the Philippines.
Of particular concern to GHI lead 
researcher Professor Allan Ross was a 
clear change in statistics with men who 
have sex with men (MsM) overtaking 
heterosexual means of transmission 
and rapidly accelerating the rate 
of transmission.
The rate of HIV transmission between 
the MsM population doubled to 629 
from between 2007 and 2009. As an 
indication of how quickly the rate of 
infection has risen, the last doubling 
of HIV rates took over ten years, from 
1996-2006 (154 to 309). 
In the first nine months of 2012 
this rate had risen again to 2761 
new cases
“The Philippines has a significant 
HIV problem and it needs to 
work very diligently to get the 
epidemic  back under control,” said 
Professor Ross.
“85% of the new cases acquired 
through sex were men who have 
sex with men. Young sexually active 
men seem to be the major carriers of 
this disease and anecdotal evidence 
suggests that a high proportion 
of these men are from middle 
class backgrounds.”
The spread of the disease through 
a particular social group risks HIV 
becoming drug resistant as it mutates 
through controlled and closed groups.
“MsM sexual networks, in which 
frequent transmission of HIV and 
other sexually transmitted infections 
(sTIs) take place, are the hypothesised 
reservoirs for the generation of 
future genotypic subtypes and drug 
resistant strains of the disease,” said 
Professor Ross.
“An urgent immuno-epidemiologic 
study needs to be undertaken in order 
to identify genotypic subclusters 
in MsM sexual partners so 
documentation of the microevolution 
of HIV can occur.”
Drug resistant sTI’s are becoming an 
ever greater danger, especially in a 
world in which international travel 
is commonplace.

injury-free

A sports training program that may 
reduce in-game injuries in grassroots 
AFL players by 30% is about to be 
launched in south east Queensland.
A national team of experts, including 
Griffith Health Institute’s (GHI) Centre 
for Musculoskeletal Research, have 
developed the FootyFirst AFL program. 
It is  based on the latest scientific 
evidence and involves warm-up, 
leg strengthening and conditioning 
exercises and training to improve 
balance, landing and sidestepping.
All these play a vital role in preparing 
players for their season of sport, 
reducing the risk of injury and 
maintaining optimum capability 
throughout the season.
A revamp of an earlier 2006 training 
program called PAFIX (Preventing 
Australian Football Injuries by exercise), 
FootyFirst is designed to be even 
more effective and easier to adopt 
by community sports teams, says 
Professor David Lloyd.
“We developed the PAFIX training 
program to prevent some specific lower 
limb injuries in grassroots AFL. Based on 
our experience with this we’re currently 
trialling FootyFirst, also in grassroots 
AFL, where it will be more focussed on 
injuries of the hamstring, groin, knee 
and ankle.
 “Over recent years, we have studied 
1500 grassroots AFL players in Perth 
and country Victoria and have already 
observed a 30% reduction in in-game 
injury rates using the PAFIX training 
program. We expect even better results 
from FootyFirst,” said Professor Lloyd.
endorsed by the AFL Medical Officers 
Association, the FootyFirst resources 
include recommended equipment, 
step-by-step images, video footage, 
common faults and key points to ensure 
and avoid.
The research team from the university 
of Ballarat, Griffith university, Monash 
university and the university of 
Western Australia is funded through the 
National Health and Medical Research 
Council (NHMRC) via Partnership and 
Project Grants.

Finding out how men are actually feeling 
is one of the great sisyphean tasks, 
but when faced with a life threatening 
condition, getting past the gristle becomes 
an imperative.
In the largest study of its kind, Griffith 
Health Institute (GHI) scientist, Professor 
suzanne Chambers has adapted a “distress 
thermometer” for men with prostate 
cancer, which gauges their mental health, 
specifically their anxiety and distress levels.
A standardised test has been in use more 
broadly for people with cancer, but had not 
been well validated for men with prostate cancer.
“The original thermometer was developed 
in the united states for use across cancer 
types, but hadn’t been fully tested and 
adapted for men with prostate cancer,” 
Professor Chambers said.
“Work on the psychological support of men 
with prostate cancer has lagged behind that 
of other cancers, especially breast cancer.
“Accurate psychological testing for men with 
cancer is really important, but obviously 
much harder than testing with women.
“It’s very important standards and 
measurements are specific and sensitive 
enough to get the right information, so 
patients are not over or under diagnosed.”
Professor Chambers’ adapted the 
thermometer for use by oncology nurses, 
not just doctors, as the nurses are the 
professionals in most regular contact with 
the men and time is a significant factor.
The testing for Professor Chambers’ 
thermometer included 740 Queensland 
men and was done in conjunction with 
Cancer Council Queensland and the Prostate 
Cancer Foundation of Australia.
“This tool will ultimately help health 
professionals and families deal with 
identifiable problems.
“The next step is to develop a psychological 
care model so people know what to do when 
the level of a patient’s distress or anxiety 
is known.”

If ever Australia’s struggling Wallabies 
pack needed some big brains to help them 
sort out their scrum problems, it is now.
But it’s the impact engagement and 
collapsing scrums at all levels of Rugby, 
both an aesthetic blight and potentially 
very dangerous, which has prompted 
another overhaul and its architects are 
at Griffith on the Gold Coast setting up 
future collaborations.
Associate Professor Grant Trewartha 
from the university of Bath (uK) is 
working with Professor Peter Milburn and 
Professor Rod Barrett from the Centre 
for Musculoskeletal Research to combine 
the talents of two schools whose sports 
science pedigree is so similar.
Dr Trewartha and his team’s review and 
reorientation of the Rugby scrum followed 
the first scrum renovation by Professor 
Milburn in the 1990’s, the famous crouch 
touch, hold, pause engage.
Dr Trewartha’s changes to the scrum are 
hoping to increase the focus of pushing 
and lessen the initial impact. Crouch, touch, 
bind was introduced during the recent 
southern series in which the Wallabies 
were smashed.
“We know that up to 50% of all scrums 
at international level collapse and result in 
some very hurt players and ugly play. The 
IRB gave us access to players at all levels 
of the game to really measure impacts 
and loads on bodies and how different 
techniques changed the pressure,” 
he said.
“While the focus at the top end is on the 
aesthetics, it’s the physical effects 
further down the grades, that we are also 
concerned about.
“some of these guys hit each other at only 
slightly less force than a professional pack, 
but their physical conditioning and the 
potential skills are much lower, so you can 
have some serious and long term damage 
done.” 
Dr Trewartha and Professor Barrett are 
also researching balance in older people.
