Abstract
This paper explores some of the important issues regarding preventive health work with men. Masculinity as the central theoretical concept is explained, but it also underpins the discussion throughout this paper. Discussion of the ‘principles’ and socio-political background of contemporary health visiting provides the context for exploring the potential for preventive health work with men, and by men, within health visiting. This paper complements a research and development paper to be published in British Journal of Community Health Nursing in 1997 which will explore health visiting ideologies surrounding men’s health, and identify concrete individual and organisational development needs at a local level.
