Saving Men's Lives

There is a silent health crisis adversely affecting the well-being of men of color. They have less access to needed care and their health outcomes are worse than those of both white men and all women. Men are systematically excluded from public health insurance programs and men of color are least likely to have private coverage.

While historically men have a shorter life expectancy than women, mounting data shows men of color are most likely to suffer chronic conditions that, left untreated, cost billions more than simple preventative and primary care. More focus is placed on African American men as this is the group for which most data is available.  The absence of data for other populations draws attention to the lack of knowledge and the need for further research on men's health.
