Abstract

Health interventions involving men and boys and changing gender roles are gaining ground globally. While these programmes are adaptable to geographical, demographic and epidemiological specificities, are widely supported and are based on increasingly sophisticated theoretical foundations, it remains unclear how the concept of masculinity is understood and applied in these interventions at the theoretical and practical level.
