About the project

Alcohol is a major modifiable risk factor for female breast cancer, even in very low amounts. Yet, awareness of this risk remains surprisingly low, and is not systematically addressed in healthcare settings. The Health4Her program of research uses co-design and implementation science methods to raise awareness of the alcohol-breast cancer link among women participating in population-based breast screening programs, and support women to keep their consumption in a low-risk range. A PhD scholarship is being offered to conduct research as part of the Health4Her Project, to examine alcohol-related harms among women aged 40+ years through analyses of an existing population-level dataset, conduct a systematic review on alcohol preventive interventions offered in the context of population cancer screening programs, and contribute to co-design studies and effectiveness-implementation trials examining how the Health4Her intervention can be optimally embedded in breast screening services, and adapted for other healthcare settings and populations. The project will involve quantitative and qualitative research methods, use of implementation research frameworks, and consumer and expert stakeholder participation approaches.

Turning Point and Monash University

The successful candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary cohort of researchers and students based at Turning Point, Australia’s leading national addiction treatment, training and research centre, based in Melbourne, Australia.
