A Call to Action for Health Disparities in Boys and Men: Innovative Research on Addiction, Trauma, and Related Comorbidities

Abstract

The authors reflect on health disparities which are seen in boys and men in the U.S. who are members of racial or ethnic minority groups or socioeconomically disadvantaged groups. They suggest that health disparities in males have been understudied despite the fact that they warrant attention. They argue that research needs to be conducted to uncover and resolve health disparities which are seen among minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged boys and men in the U.S.
