Product Description
Product Description
"Though accessible in style, this book is not an easy read. Chapters brim with information and analysis. A lesser author could have written an entire book from the information Robertson squeezes into a single chapter. So insightful is his analysis that he leaves the mind racing with thoughts and ideas."

"Men's health texts are hard to find - delighted this text addresses issues like access to health services."
Margaret McLoone, Sligo Institute of Technology, Ireland
"Steve Robertson has written a valuable book that will serve as an excellent introduction to social science perspectives on the links between masculinities and men’s health … The book is clearly written and the coverage of existing literature is excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending it to all those wishing to extend their understanding of masculinities and health."
Professor Lesley Doyal, Journal of Men's Health
- How do men understand ‘health’?
- What do men consider to be the role of health services in helping them stay well?
- What inhibits or facilitates men’s engagement with health services?
Importantly the book:
- Incorporates the views of disabled and gay men to highlight issues of diversity
- Draws out key implications for health promotion work with men
- Includes ‘key points for practice’ within each chapter
Understanding Men and Health will be of particular interest to academics, students and researchers in nursing, health, sociology and gender studies as well as to pre- registration and post-registration health professionals with an interest in men and health.
