His new research project, Men's Health, Fatherhood and Cancer, conducted under the auspices of the Centre for Families Work and Well-Being, reflects a combination of John's main research interests: fatherhood and men's health. The focus of Men's Health, Fatherhood and Cancer will be a qualitative research project designed to increase understanding of the strategies men with cancer and their families use to manage the impacts of the illness, with particular attention to how men conduct self-care and the effectiveness of existing programs that support men in self-care. The project will also incorporate a recognition and understanding of men's multiple roles (father, spouse, provider, patient) in the development of innovative health promotion and supportive care strategies for men with cancer.
