If one in seven Australian women are predicted to develop breast cancer, why don’t more people acknowledge the risks and cut down their alcohol consumption?
The Cancer Council found the number of breast cancer cases linked to alcohol as much higher than previously estimated with one in five breast cancer cases linked to alcohol, women aged 35-54 are at the highest risk for cancer due to excessive alcohol consumption according to a 2019 Australian Institute of Health and Welfare report.
With women aged 35-54 at the highest proportional cancer risk due to excessive alcohol intake, a new anonymous online survey is seeking to understand behaviour and devise interventions and advice to turn the tide and raise awareness.
We believe that every woman deserves a drink but that no woman deserves breast cancer. We believe that prevention is the best cure.
Are you a woman aged 35-54 years old living in Australia?
If so, you can help us understand women’s lives, alcohol use and beliefs about health prevention. Participants will complete an online anonymous survey which will take about 10-15 minutes. To thank you for your participation, at the end of the survey you can enter the draw to win one of five $100 shopping vouchers.
The online survey is open. Your participation will help to inform breast cancer prevention programs, if you or anyone you know is interested in completing the survey, please visit this link.

Organised sport is often viewed as one important setting for accumulating physical activity. Therefore, we are interested in investigating coaches' perceptions of professional development materials (I.e. coaching resources such as websites, workshops and print materials) and their role in enhancing physical activity levels.
You are invited to voluntarily participate in a 10-15-minute online questionnaire (Phase 1). You will also be invited to participate in a follow up (Phase 2) online questionnaire (which is optional).
You will be helping to inform our understanding of coaches’ current and preferred modes of professional development support ranging from wide-reach, scalable materials to more personalised, resource-intense materials such as: online videos; online blogs; podcasts; online workshops; group face-to-face workshops and ongoing coach mentoring. You will also help to inform our understanding of coaches’ perspectives on the feasibility, strengths and limitations of strategies to increase physical activity levels in organised sport trainings. Project outcomes will be made available to sporting organisations and clubs to share with their respective coaching community in the form of research summary at the end of the study.
Participants who opt-in to a prize draw after completion of the phase 1 will go into a draw to receive one of four Coles/Myer vouchers. Participants who complete the phase 2 questionnaire will be able to opt into another price draw for a chance to receive one of four Coles/Myer vouchers.
All responses will remain confidential, but we cannot assure anonymity as if a participant would like to participate in the follow up questionnaire (Phase 2), they will need to provide an email address at the end of the questionnaire in Phase 1. In this situation, participants will be identifiable to the researchers only. All files will be stored on a password protected server, in which access will be restricted to the researchers. These files will be destroyed after 5 years in storage. We do not foresee any of your responses and your responses will not be linked directly to you or your email address.
We do not force any risks or discomforts if you participate in the study. However, there are some burdens including:
1. Time burden
The online questionnaire (Phase 1) will require approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. If a participant decides to participate in Phase 2, the subsequent online questionnaire will require an additional 10-15 minutes to complete. The online questionnaire in Phase 2 will be made available approximately 4 weeks after Phase 1 data collection is completed.
Participation is voluntary. A consent statement will need to be agreed to before commencing the online questionnaire. This will be available online only.

There is a need to better understand what factors contribute to successful parent and coach relationships in youth sport. This is important because parents and coaches strongly influence psychosocial outcomes developed through youth sport. They also impact participation in, and enjoyment of, youth sport. Examining models of successful parent and coach relationships are necessary to address a clear gap in the field of sport parenting (Harwood, Knight, Berrow and Thrower, 2019). This project will undertake a series of interviews with parents and coaches in youth sport to explore their experiences and perceptions of successful parent and coach relationships in youth sport.
What will I be asked to do?
You are invited to voluntarily participate in a once-only individual interview (in person or via skype) or a focus group discussion. Interviews will last approximately 30-60 minutes and focus groups will last approximately 30-60 minutes. All interviews and focus groups will be recorded for transcribing purposes. Participants will not be given the opportunity to review and edit their transcripts. Skype interviews will be video recorded for audio data only (i.e., video recording will not be used, only audio data used for transcription purposes).
What benefit will I gain from being involved in this study?
Your involvement in this study will directly contribute to developing effective and efficient education and training programs to optimise coach and parental involvement in youth sport. The development of educational resources is a novel step in this regard, yet there is a need to inform resource development with evidence-based topics that enhance parental involvement in youth sport, including how to cultivate positive relationships between parents and coaches. An email summary of the projects findings can be arranged for each participant or an oral presentation at local sport club.
Will I be identifiable by being involved in this study?
We cannot assure anonymity but can ensure confidentiality by de-identifying all recorded data and using pseudonyms in any resulting publications. All files will be stored on a password protected server and Onedrive file, in which access will be restricted to the researchers and a transcription service. These files will be destroyed after 5 years in storage. Your comments will not be linked directly to you. Even though information provided will be treated with the strictest confidence by the researcher, as the researcher is a mandated reporter, disclosure of illegal activities will need to be reported by the researcher to the relevant authorities.
Are there any risks or discomforts if I am involved?
There are no risks or discomforts if you are involved. However, there are some burdens including:

We are seeking participants for a study investigating how people manage their multiple roles in day-to-day life.
This project will investigate how individuals experience and cope with situations in which their social identities have conflicting expectations.
Social identities are the groups and roles we identify with in our day-to-day life, they may include being a parent, a worker, an athlete, a student, or other groups and roles.
Due to individuals having many different social identities, there may be times when an individual is unable to adhere to the expectations of both identities at once. A working parent, for example, may be unable to simultaneously prioritise their working and parenting commitments.
We are interested in how conflicts between social identities impact on overall psychological well-being, and if there are management strategies that enable people to cope with conflicts more effectively.
Participation will involve completing an 20-30 minute online survey. You’ll be asked a number of questions, including what your social groups/roles are, how important these social groups are to you, and whether the expectations of these social groups conflict with each other.
You’ll also be asked to rate your emotions (including emotions such as shame, anger, remorse, pride and others). Some questions will ask how you responded in situations when your social groups had conflicting expectations of you (e.g., whether you took time to think about the best way to deal with the situation, whether you tried to avoid the situation, whether you could not stop thinking about the situation).
