Men’s Health Initiative
The mission of the Men's Health Initiative is to help change men’s behaviors and attitudes toward their health and healthcare services. We are developing a forum for men to voice their concerns regarding their health care needs and to address the lack of services provided for men that are uninsured and underinsured.
Focus groups will be convened to understand the male perspective on preventive healthcare and men’s perspective of their health and the health of their community.
Future goals:
- Adopt a Men’s Health Policy for the Louisville Metro area
- Development of a Men’s Conference/Forum in the Louisville Metro area where panelists can discuss current issues with men
- Create resource booklets and pamphlets for men
- Conduct focus groups in a barbershop format to discuss pertinent issues surrounding men’s health and their environmental stressors.
