    Abstract

    Men in rural areas are at an increased risk of obesity and chronic diseases. A mixed method study tested the feasibility and impact of a multiphase self-management program at reducing risk factors for chronic disease for 87 men across six worksites in regional Western Australia. The intervention was effective at targeting key health outcomes. Applied strategies were acceptable and are transferable to other male groups in rural areas, where access to interventions is often limited.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
