Sherry Aw
15 Aug 2025 - 31 Dec 2025
This is a joint project with the Singapore Council of Women's Organisations (SCWO), who we are signing an MOU with. SCWO has agreed to fund research assistants for this project, which involves data collection, analyses, and the write-up of a White Paper as well as scientific journal articles.
The aims of the project are:
1. to examine the awareness and utilization of mental health services among middle-aged women in Singapore.
2. To examine the determinants of mental health attitudes and support seeking, such as mental health stigma and male allyship.
The outcomes of the project are aimed to be published as part of a White Paper that will be presented to various ministries in Singapore on topics such as gender equality and mental health, and we also target the publication of scientific journal articles.
Any data arising from this project will be owned by both JCU and SCWO, and both parties are responsible for the storage of the data.
The roles of JCUS members in the research team are as follows:
1. Sherry Aw - Main liaison, overseeing the project from conceptualization, survey drafting, data collection, data analysis, and eventual write-up of the white paper and subsequent publications.
