Health of Urban Men

Catalog description

This course explores growing disparities among disenfranchised and vulnerable populations in our society. Students examine the predicaments of fragile populations with a focus on the unique health status of urban men. The course recognizes that masculinity, gender roles, employment, and other psychological and social factors influence the way men care for themselves and others. Students participate in health promotion activities in environments which challenge urban men’s access to health care. A service-learning project for urban men is implemented.
