abstract:Men's Health Forum is a charity based in England and Wales. Its mission is to provide an independent and authoritative voice for male health and to tackle the issues affecting the health and well-being of boys and men.
This and social attitudes towards men's health mean that men have a lower life expectancy, a higher suicide rate and a higher death rate from cancer than women, the Men's HealthForum said.
During the talk, Ms Abbott will highlight research by the Men's HealthForum, a charity which aims to tackle male health inequalities, which suggests that men are more likely to take their own lives than women, have lower educational attainment at all levels of the education system, are more likely to be homeless, and are less likely to access NHS services.
