Men managing health

Abstract

Key Points:

1) Men face a dilemma between having to show they “don’t care” about health issues as part of ‘macho’ performance, and realising they “should care” about health issues as ‘good’ citizens. 2) Men use a variety of ways to resolve this dilemma and legitimise ‘healthy’ behaviour or engaging with health services 3) Considering this dilemma and possible resolutions creates practical opportunities for health work with men.
