Scholarship details
Research into high-risk drinking among males, potential intervention times, and health promotion measures to prevent or alter risky drinking behaviours are the focus of a PhD Enterprise Scholarship offered by Flinders University and the Alcohol and Drug Foundation. The National Centre for Education and Training on Addiction (NCETA) at Flinders University will serve as the home for the PhD candidate. NCETA’s mission is to serve as an agent of change in the realm of alcohol and other drugs (AOD). Due to their expertise in the sector, the ADF is contributing to the PhD scholarship by deciding on the research issue to be explored.
When it comes to reducing the negative effects of alcohol and drugs, no other organization in Australia works harder or more effectively than ADF. Flinders University’s Director of the National Centre for Education and Training on Addiction, Professor Jacqueline Bowden, and Curtin University’s Associate Professor Michael Livingston will serve as the PhD Enterprise Scholarship’s academic advisors. Both of them are at the forefront of the field of alcohol policy analysis. Dr. Skye McPhie, Manager, Research & Evaluation from the ADF, will help with possibilities to integrate studies into practice, and your supervisor will be Prof. James Smith, a leading expert in men’s health and health promotion research at Flinders University.
This exciting endeavor entails:
In order to better understand the demographic and situational risk variables that contribute to behaviors that enhance the risk of alcohol-related damage in men, the current literature was reviewed.
- Analyzing national data sets for trends and risk variables in male heavy drinking.
- Interviews or surveys to learn when in a person’s life an intervention to reduce risky drinking habits would be most effective.
- In addition to funding for your education, the PhD Enterprise Scholarship requires that you complete a 60-day internship at the Adelaide office of ADF before you finish your PhD. This internship must be agreed to in writing within the first 18 months of your candidacy and must be worked on full-time.
