Although "gender and health" is often assumed to refer to women's health, men's gender roles have serious effects on their health, worldwide. In this course, we will consider the health of men, compared to women, and among men of diverse characteristics and settings. Two major perspectives will be epidemiology and social science. We will explore global patterns of disease and disease risk for men, and the reasons for these patterns, and interventions that might improve men's health.
