When healthcare professionals are equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively address men’s health issues, the result is improved health outcomes for men, boys, women, families, and communities. Filling a gap in the current medical education literature, Men's Health: An Introductory Text, by Professor Ian Peate, is an essential resource for improving clinical practice, promoting preventive care, addressing health inequalities, and supporting holistic care for men. Abundant pedagogical features, full-color illustrations, and a focus on applying theory to practice make this up-to-date text ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students, social workers, nurses, allied health care professionals, and all others who work, or will work, with men in the health care field.
