“…Despite being aware of hegemonic masculine ideals, many men do not agree with or aspire to embody these ideals. In fact, it appears that there are many prosocial ideals that men value and aspire to that may be more engaging and motivating fodder for health promotion interventions (Griffith & Jaeger, 2020; Griffith, Jaeger, et al, 2021). By anchoring efforts to promote healthy ideals and outcomes in an approach that is based on a more nuanced set of ideals, there may be a greater chance that we can improve the health and well-being of boys and men.…”

In this commentary on "A Relational-Cultural Framework for Promoting Healthy Masculinities" (Di Bianca & Mahalik, 2022), I suggest that healthy masculinities may benefit from considering other factors than hegemonic masculinity. Borrowing the concept of mosaic masculinities, I argue that many men do not view hegemonic masculinity as an aspirational ideal. They create other ideals for themselves by using elements of hegemonic masculinity that they value and that they can attain. Some men may create mosaics of ideals that they use as north stars to guide who they would like to be and how they would like others to view them. To illustrate this point, I cite and discuss research on African American men's masculinities, and use the concept of intersectionality to discuss why and how this approach to promoting healthy masculinities may be advantageous. I argue that integrating the concept of manhood would also add important texture to the ideals that men have. This alternative perspective also is relationally constructed and it centers a more heterogeneous array of cultural factors that give masculinities meaning and that shape the implications of masculinities for health and well-being.

“…The Double Diamond's Discover phase can include conducting a broad and inclusive literature review (i.e., theoretical, historical, and practical) of the problem, its impact on health equity, and determinants of both. In doing this, it is critical to understand the origins of disparities and challenges (e.g., context, resources, barriers, facilitators) specific to social determinants of health (18,37).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated pre-existing health disparities. People of historically underserved communities, including racial and ethnic minority groups and people with lower incomes and educational attainments, experienced disproportionate premature mortality, access to healthcare, and vaccination acceptance and adoption. At the same time, the pandemic increased reliance on digital devices, offering a unique opportunity to leverage digital communication channels to address health inequities, particularly related to COVID-19 vaccination. We offer a real-world, systematic approach to designing personalized behavior change email and text messaging interventions that address individual barriers with evidence-based behavioral science inclusive of underserved populations. Integrating design processes such as the Double Diamond model with evidence-based behavioral science intervention development offers a unique opportunity to create equitable interventions. Further, leveraging behavior change artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities allows for both personalizing and automating that personalization to address barriers to COVID-19 vaccination at scale. The result is an intervention whose broad component library meets the needs of a diverse population and whose technology can deliver the right components for each individual.

“…65 This program focused on men most adversely affected by the social determinants of health in Canada that aimed to build solidarity; promote health through education, dialogue, and screenings; and enable men to regain a sense of pride in their lives utilizing trusted Elders and Indigenous content and instructional practices in an inclusive, safe environment. Additionally, Griffith and colleagues 66 have demonstrated that tailored programs that address the intersection of race and gender focusing on religiosity, spirituality, and role strain may help to increase the impact of health messages among African American men.…”

Where Are All the Men? A Qualitative Review of the Barriers, Facilitators, and Recommendations to Older Male Participation in Health Promotion Interventions

2022

Objective Older men have lower participation rates than females in health promotion interventions. We conducted a qualitative review of 20 years of existing research across a variety of academic search databases to outline the barriers, facilitators, and recommendations for this imbalance. Data Source A systematic search was conducted across Google Scholar, PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Academic Search Premier, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, and Web of Science from dates January 1, 2000 – December 31, 2020. Study Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria Abstracts were screened based on: original research, English language, recruitment or participation, health promotion or health program, and male gender. Data Extraction Of 1194 initial search results, 383 article abstracts were thoroughly screened for inclusion and 26 articles met inclusion criteria. Synthesis Included studies were coded and analyzed using Grounded Theory. Results Barriers included masculine gender roles as well as program scope, environment, and gender of the instructors and other participants. Facilitators included creating social groups of older males that participate in a variety of activities together, including hobbies and health promotion, over a long period of time. Conclusion Health promotion interventions should involve men in all aspects of program planning and implementation, take into account men’s existing relationships and interests to create gender-sensitive programming, and clearly delineate the benefits to participation.
