Past Projects:

National Center for the Health of Men, Boys and Society

Funded by: Internal Support
The Center addresses men's health from the perspective that men's health-related beliefs and behaviors influence the well being of women, girls, other men and boys, and the communities in which men live. Prevention Institute worked in collaboration with Dr. Will Courtenay, a leader in the national and international men's health movement, to launch the Center. The Center recognizes the influences of social, economic, environmental, ethnic, and cultural factors, as well as differences among men based on their age, economic status, sexual identity, occupation, culture, ethnicity, environment, religion, and geographic location.
