Men's adoption of risky health practices and reluctance to seek help and engage in preventive health behaviors have often been cited as contributing factors to their poorer health outcomes, particularly among adolescent boys and young men, with a disproportionate impact on BYMOC. Emerging research on equity and men's health has highlighted the complex interplay of factors such as age, race, sexuality, socioeconomic status, and geography that contribute to health and social inequalities. These inequalities are increasingly recognized as shaping the health practices of BYMOC. Unfortunately, these health and social disparities can have long-lasting consequences. A growing emphasis on reducing health inequities has led to a greater focus on health promotion actions that address the social and cultural determinants of health. The vulnerabilities faced by BYMOC are diverse and are reflected in a range of tailored health promotion interventions. Health promotion approaches that aim to address structural and systemic inequities experienced by BYMOC have been prominently featured. In this volume, the editors and contributors purposefully bring together international research and promising practice examples from Australia, the United States, New Zealand, and Canada to showcase health promotion strategies that enhance the health and social well-being of BYMOC. By doing so, the book goes beyond discussing the health inequities faced by this population to explore practical actions that can be taken to address them in context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 535g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783031221736\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2023\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44304004677882,"sku":"9783031221736","price":72.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_050578d7-e8c5-43f3-99af-d41040214d4d.jpg?v=1688020412","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/health-promotion-with-adolescent-boys-and-young-men-of-colour-global-strategies-for-advancing-research-policy-and-practice-in-context-9783031221736","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
