Ten to Men: The Australian Longitudinal Study on Male Health was commissioned by the Department of Health and Aged Care following the 2010 National Male Health Policy, and currently serves the National Men’s Health Strategy 2020-2030. This is Australia’s first national longitudinal study that focuses exclusively on male health and wellbeing. The cohort was recruited using a stratified, multi-stage & cluster sampling design to select males aged 10–55 years. Recruitment of eligible participants and Wave 1 of the data collection occurred between October 2013 and July 2014, resulting in a reconciled sample size of 16,021. The survey content was structured around six key research domains relevant to male health: wellbeing and mental health, use of health services, health-related behaviours, health status, health knowledge and social determinants.
