52 Formulation of National Men s Health Policy and Action Plan Six priority areas for action : 1 Optimal health outcomes for males 2 Health equity between population groups of males 3 Health equity between males at different life stages 4 A focus on preventive health for males 5 Building a strong evidence base on male health 6 Access to health care for males

53 National Male Health Policy 2010, Australia 1. Optimal health outcomes for males Promote recognition of the valuable roles males play in family and community life, develop policies that specifically consider male health, and modify health programs to improve the health and wellbeing of males and particularly those with the poorest health outcomes. 2. Health equity between population groups of males Give policy priority to males who experience the highest health disadvantage, promote health messages in a way that males can relate to, and encourage health services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males to have a positive, family-oriented approach.

54 3. Improved health for males at different life stages Promote the role of males as fathers, recognise the roles of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men in traditional practices and parenting, encourage a focus on transition points in male lives (for example. Leaving school, relationship breakdown), develop practical health promotion materials, and promote male adolescent health through schools and other avenues. 4. A focus on preventive health for males Encourage employers to deliver health checks and programs for males, fund health promotion materials, encourage health promotion activities to have a specific focus on males, raise awareness on chronic diseases among males, deliver evidence-based health promotion messages to males, and monitor workplace hazards and environmental toxins.

55 5. Building a strong evidence base on male health Fund a National Longitudinal Study on Male Health, commission regular statistical bulletins on male health, give priority to research focusing on male health, routinely collect and report data on male health, explore the potential for surveys on male health, and monitor scientific developments relating to male health. 6. Improved access to health care for males Encourage health services to be responsive to male needs and aware of health barriers they face, encourage culturally appropriate services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males and encourage GPs to take up government incentives to engage Australians in prevention of chronic disease.
