Abstract
"Using interviews with men and health professionals the book explores the key aspects of men's health and healthcare delivery. Although set within the UK context, it also has wider resonance as it considers how men conceptualize health, how this becomes embodied, the importance of relationships and emotions in men's preventative health practices, and the socially contingent nature of men's engagment with preventive health care services." "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."--BOOK JACKET.
