Western Australian men continue to experience poorer health outcomes than women across almost every indicator of physical and mental health and wellbeing. They are over represented in early death from heart disease, suicide, diabetes and cancer and live with a total disease burden greater than women. Research led by specialists at Fiona Stanley Hospital seeks to integrate an evidenced based platform of mental and physical health to prevent early death and life impacting conditions.

Join West Australian Chief Scientist Professor Peter Klinken AC and a panel of leading health experts to discuss an integrated model of evidenced based research that will improve the physical, mental, social and emotional well-being of men and boys living in WA.

If we do it together, we can make our men and boys healthier.
