Abstract

Men don't talk about their health is a familiar trope. Evidence suggests that in the United States (US) and in the United Kingdom (UK) this is indeed the case. A survey of five hundred men in the US over the age of eighteen reported only 7% discussing their health with their peers [1]. Only 42% of men surveyed were prepared to consult a health care professional over a worrying symptom.
