Our work
We focus on masculinities as it influences men’s health behaviours and illness management, and its impact on partners, families and overall life quality.
Findings from our research inform men’s health interventions and offer guidance to clinicians and researchers to advance men’s health promotion.

Participate in a Men’s Health Research Study
Title of Project: The Gendered Dimensions of Men’s Post-Prostatectomy Experiences
The study objective is to advance the gendered dimensions of men’s post-prostatectomy experiences using narrative methodologies by integrating men’s narratives and storytelling methods to identify and describe post-prostatectomy experiences related to mental health, intimate partner relationships, peer support, and using healthcare services. These insights have the potential to contribute to the development of targeted, gender-responsive interventions to support the emotional and relational well-being of men and their intimate partners post-prostatectomy.
A honorarium electronic gift card will be offered to participants in recognition of your time and contribution to the study after the interview. Participants may choose any Canadian online retailer that provides electronic gift card delivery via email.
