Workshop #9: Leadership Maintenance: Health
Matters
This workshop discusses the importance of men taking
responsibility for their own health. Public health
statistics related to male longevity, prevalence of
disease, doctor visits, and other factors are reviewed.
Sociological and cultural differences are discussed.
This workshop explores some of the health issues that
face young college students such as avoiding the
“Freshmen 15”, precautions related to sexually
transmitted diseases, dealing with stress, warning signs
for various health problems, and intervention resources.
Given that men are typically more reluctant to engage in
optimum health maintenance activities, this workshop
attempts to promote a more health conscious attitude
amongst the participants.
