A study in BMCPalliatCare further explores the ‘trusting relationship’ of patients with healthcare professionals and finds that this relationship can influence decision-making and informed consent for clinical trials in patients with non-curative cancer.
>The ‘Trusting relationship’ was identified as a core category for both patients with non-curative cancer and healthcare professionals involved with the consent process and recruitment procedures .
‘I felt pleased. It’s very hard to define. I did feel pleased. I felt very positive about it. I was glad I managed to get the last place on it. I mean, I’ll go through hell and high water if I thought I could get rid of this. I’d like a few more years.’Patients were sometimes aware of the expensive cost of trial drugs and thought this represented superior treatment in comparison to standard care:
‘I think that some patients consent to trials because they think that is what the doctor feels is the best thing to do.

Expressions of masculinity and associations with suicidal ideation among young males - BMC PsychiatryBackground Adolescent boys and young men are at particular risk of suicide. Suicidal ideation is an important risk factor for suicide, but is poorly understood among adolescent males. Some masculine behaviors have been associated with deleterious effects on health, yet there has been little quantitative examination of associations between masculinity and suicide or suicidal ideation, particularly among boys/young men. This study aimed to examine associations between conformity to masculine norms and suicidal ideation in a sample of adolescents. Methods A prospective cohort design, this study drew on a sample of 829 Australian boys/young men from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Male Health. Boys were 15–18 years at baseline, and 17–20 years at follow-up. Masculine norms (Wave 1), were measured using the Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory (CMNI-22). Suicidal ideation (Wave 2) was a single-item from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Logistic regression analysis was conducted, adjusting for available confounders including parental education, Indigenous Australian identity and area disadvantage. Results In adjusted models, greater conformity to violent norms (OR= 1.23, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.03–1.47) and self-reliance norms (OR= 1.40, 95% CI: 1.15–1.70) was associated with higher odds of reporting suicidal ideation. Greater conformity to norms regarding heterosexuality was associated with reduced odds of reporting suicidal ideation (OR= 0.80, 95% CI: 0.68–0.91). Conclusions These results suggest that conforming to some masculine norms may be deleterious to the mental health of young males, placing them at greater risk of suicidal ideation. The results highlight the importance of presenting young males with alternative and multiple ways of being a male. Facilitating a relaxation of norms regarding self-reliance, and encouraging help-seeking, is vital. Furthermore, dismantling norms that rigidly enforce masculine norms, particularly in relation to heterono
