Title: Women, Alcohol and Breast Cancer Prevention
Context: Consuming alcohol increases the risk of breast cancer (alcohol is a class 1 carcinogenic). Women in midlife are amongst Australia’s heaviest alcohol consumers. Acceptance of communication about the breast cancer risk associated with alcohol consumption is complex. Uptake and response to risk-based messaging hinges on whether women perceive themselves to be personally at risk of or a ‘candidate’ for cancer.
Description: For this PhD, numerous possible topics might be explored within the theme of alcohol-related risk and breast cancer ‘candidacy’. The PhD candidate will devise an original project in collaboration with the research team, depending on the candidate’s disciplinary and research interests.
