Two leading academics help us to dive deep into the science of social connection and how it applies to men, with Associate Professor Dr Adam Karg and Dr Sean Martin.
Exploring and Maximising Social Connection Infrastructure and Outcomes
Associate Professor Adam Karg is the Director of the Swinburne Sport Innovation Research Group. He leads a research program that works to promote and measure social connection and the impact on people, community and innovation. His current research includes a focus on social connection and vulnerable communities, and social connection through community sport.
While Adam's work does not focus specifically on men, his presentation will lay the foundations for a deeper understanding of social connection and men's health.
Social Connectedness Among Australian Males
Dr Sean Martin is the program lead for the Ten To Men (TTM): Australian Longitudinal Study on Male Health at AIFS. Sean is a clinical epidemiologist by training with over 15 years’ experience in men’s health–related research.
Sean will provide an overview of Ten To Men's research into social connection in Australian men. The research reveals that limited social connectedness is more common among Australian males compared to females. Understanding how men develop and maintain social connectivity and community participation is important for optimising their health and wellbeing, and for informing targeted interventions to promote and enhance social connectedness among Australian men.
