Scheduled to mark Global Public Health Week, this webinar presented by the Global Action on Men's Health will feature a guest lecture by GAMH chair Derek Griffith, the Risa Lavizzo-Mourey Population Health and Health Equity University Professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
Derek will argue that a lack of sex-disaggregated data and the treatment of gender as though it is synonymous with women and girls limit our ability to understand men’s health. "Globally, health policy and public health infrastructure fail to explicitly consider the health of men, particularly the poor health of marginalised men. This inattention to men’s health hinders the ability to improve global health, to achieve gender health equity, and to achieve health equity more broadly. Expanding efforts to consider gender in policy and infrastructure to include men, naming men as a population whose poor health warrants policy attention, and utilising an intersectional lens to develop and analyse policies that affect health would likely yield critical improvements in population health and health equity."
