Summary: The Centre for Program Evaluation (CPE) is undertaking an evaluation of an Online Men’s Behaviour Change Program (OMBCP) over a one year period.

The program is intended for those men who find it difficult to attend a face-to-face session for a number of reasons (e.g., their geographical location or their line of work which may entail shift work).
