Abstract

Over the last half-century, the women's health movement has been a powerful driver in health policy linking gender norms to sex differences in health and wellbeing. Even though gender norms also affect males,1 there has been little emphasis on gender in health policies for males, especially in relation to the mental health of boys and young men.2 Gender norms around masculinity commonly confer power and status to boys and young men, which might in part explain why norms around masculinity are difficult to shift.
