Description	Ten to Men: The Australian Longitudinal Study on Male Health was commissioned by the Department of Health and Aged Care following the 2010 National Male Health Policy, and currently serves the National Men’s Health Strategy 2020-2030. This is Australia’s first national longitudinal study that focuses exclusively on male health and wellbeing. The cohort was recruited using a stratified, multi-stage & cluster sampling design to select males aged 10–55 years. Recruitment of eligible participants and Wave 1 of the data collection occurred between October 2013 and July 2014, resulting in a reconciled sample size of 16,021. The survey content was structured around six key research domains relevant to male health: wellbeing and mental health, use of health services, health-related behaviours, health status, health knowledge and social determinants. Wave 2 of the data collection occurred between November 2015 and May 2016. The sample size for Wave 2 was 11,936. The Wave 2 questionnaires largely retained Wave 1 items to obtain repeat longitudinal measures. New items added included additional questions on relationships, mental health, health literacy, help-seeking and resilience. Release 2.1 comprised of updated Wave 1 and Wave 2 datasets. These datasets have undergone changes to previous releases, including the renaming of variables, confidentialisation and other modifications. Release 2.1 offers General Release and Restricted Release. Wave 3 of the data collection occurred between July 2020 and February 2021. The sample size for Wave 3 was 7,919. The Wave 3 questionnaires largely retained items from previous waves to obtain repeat longitudinal measures. New items added included new questions on gambling, use of e-cigarettes, illicit drug use, gender identity, generalised anxiety, relationship quality, individual income, COVID-19 impact and natural disaster impact. Release 3.0 offers General Release and Restricted Release and linked MBS and PBS datasets. Wave 4 of the data collection occurred between August 2022 and December 2022. The sample size for Wave 4 was 7,050. The Wave 4 questionnaires largely retained items from previous waves to obtain repeat longitudinal measures. New items added included new questions on health conditions, masculinity, fathering ethnicity, gender & sexuality, intimidate partner violence, and injuries. Release 4.0 is the most recent data release and offers General Release and Restricted Release and linked MBS and PBS datasets. The Restricted Release v2 revisions are reported in the Social Sciences and Humanities: Notes metadata field.

Weighting	Sample weights can be used to adjust for potential bias due to non-response and unequal sampling fraction, and to allow inferences about population estimates to be made. For more information, please see 'Data User Guide' (section 6.4) in Files tab.
Cleaning Operations	The data were checked by the archive for missing variable and value labels, out of range values and wild codes, logical inconsistencies, and confidentiality.
Response Rate	The reconciled cohort sample size for Wave 1 is 16,021 males aged between 10 and 55 years at the time of recruitment. The overall retention rate of participants from Wave 1 to Wave 2 was 98%, from Wave 1 to Wave 3 was 93% and from Wave 1 to Wave 4 was 90%. For more information, please see 'Data User Guide' (section 1.4) in Files tab. In Wave 2, the response rate was 75% - 11,936 of the cohort (out of 16,021 who were part of study in Wave 1) participated in data collection. In Wave 3, the response rate was 49% - 7,919 of the cohort (out of 16,021 in Wave 1). In Wave 4, the response rate was 44% - 7,050 of the cohort (out of 16,021 in Wave 1). For more information, please see 'Data User Guide’ (section 1.5) in Files tab.
Notes	Wave 4 Restricted Formats A limited amount of confidentialised formats for the TTM Wave General Release were transferred over to the Restricted Release. Subsequently, files suffixed with _v2 were re-released. Only the formats for these variables were affected, and the data was not otherwise impacted. A formatting issue was also corrected for the health conditions diagnosis dates (‘dhdarnsdt’ through to ‘dhdoth5dt’). Dates were previously assigned formatting resulting in a 5-digit numeric default value. Affected files include ttmrrw4 (SAS, STATA, & SPSS data files) and SAS formats (ttmrrw4_formats, and ttmrrw4_procformat).
