A literature review was undertaken to provide a guide for two men's groups in north Queensland, Yaba Bimbie Men's Group at Yarrabah and Ma D'daimba-Balas Men's Group in Innisfail, as part of a National Health and Medical Research Council funded project. The full report provides an overview of a range of strategic initiatives which help men's groups clarify or prioritise their vision, assist with planning and implementing strategies, or provide evidence as a basis for advocacy to other organizations
