Funded Activity Summary

Reforming the Male: Masculinity, Medicalisation and Men's Health. Men's health is an issue of significant national importance and community concern. This project will contribute to knowledge of the social and cultural determinants of men's health and health practices in Australia. It is at the forefront of new approaches to men's health which emphasise the impact of norms and practices of masculinity on wellbeing. As well as providing specific insight into problems such as attention deficit disorder and depression in men, the project will also contribute to international debate about medicalisation, the rise of pharmacological treatments for problems of living and the existence of a crisis in masculinity.
