Behavioral, social, and policy interventions to improve the health of the overall population have been less successful in reaching or improving the outcomes of men when compared with women. The field of men's health disparities explores how and why inequalities among men exist and presents evidence informing efforts to improve the health of men and reduce inequalities among them.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Worldwide, men have more opportunities, privileges, and power, yet they also haveshorter life expectancies than women. Why is this Why are there stark differences in the burden of disease, quality of life, and length of life amongst men, by race, ethnicity, (dis)ability status, sexual orientation, gender identity, rurality, and national context Why is this a largely unexplored area of research Men's Health Equity is the first volume to describe men's health equity as a field of study that emerged from gaps in and between research on men's health and health inequities. This handbook provides a comprehensive review of foundations of the field; summarizes the issues unique to different populations; discusses key frameworks for studying and exploring issues that cut across populations in the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Central America, and South America; and offers strategies for improving the health of key population groups and achieving men's health equity overall.

Men's Health Equity will be the first collection to present the state of the science in this field, its progress, its breadth, and its future.This book is an invaluable resource for scholars, researchers, students, and professionals interested in men's health equity, men's health, psychology of men's health, gender studies, public health, and global health. 620 pp. Englisch.
