This book highlights novel and pragmatic health promotion efforts
being adopted with boys and young men of colour (BYMOC) globally
that apply a strengths-based approach. Men's adoption of risky
health practices and reluctance to seek help and engage in
preventive health behaviours have frequently been used to explain
their poorer health outcomes, particularly among adolescent boys
and young men, and disproportionately affecting BYMOC. Emerging
literature on equity and men's health has conveyed that
intersections among age, race, sexuality, socioeconomic status and
geography contribute to a complex array of health and social
inequities. There is growing evidence to suggest these inequities
shape the health practices of BYMOC. Unfortunately, these health
and social inequities can have negative lifelong consequences. An
increased focus on reducing health inequities has led to a greater
focus on health promotion actions that address social and cultural
determinants of health. The vulnerabilities that BYMOC face are
diverse and are reflected in a range of tailored health promotion
interventions. Health promotion approaches that influence
structural and systemic inequities experienced by BYMOC have been a
prominent feature. In this volume, the editors and contributors
purposefully bring together international research and promising
practice examples from Australia, the United States, New Zealand,
and Canada to celebrate health promotion strategies that help to
improve the health and social trajectories of BYMOC. In doing so,
the book moves beyond discussing the health inequities faced by
this population, to talk about the practical actions to address
them in context. Health Promotion with Adolescent Boys and Young
Men of Colour brings together diffuse strands of scholarship
relating to male health promotion, gender/masculinities and health,
equity and men's health, and gender and youth development. The book
is a unique and useful resource for practitioners, policy-makers,
researchers and students with an interest in health
promotion/public health, social work/social policy, education,
men's health, youth development, Indigenous studies, and health and
social equity.
