Communication for men's health

Thursday, 5 July 2018 - 6:00pm to 6:30pm

Men are notoriously resistant to taking care of their own health or seeking out information about their health. That's the common assumption.  The reality is a little different. But men, on lots of health criteria, don’t do as well as women. Could this have anything to do with communication, the way that health related information is communicated and used by men?

To help negotiate and offer a few answers to that question Communication Mixdown talked with Simon von Saldern from Andrology Australia and Nicki Hodyl from Vertex Health about a survey they've just launched dealing with how men access and use health communication.
