The Influence of Relationships on Engagement in an Australian Construction Industry Suicide Prevention Programme
The relatability of MATES staff and MATES' industry base were seen as important drivers of worker engagement and participation in the programme. This study provides new insights into the importance of peer roles, authenticity, connection, and positionality of public health interventions as facilitators of engagement and participation in community-based preventive interventions.
