Aya Male Health

Description

• AYA Male Health is a groundbreaking project that has as its goal the improvement of adolescent and young adult male health. The project has two principal activities: clinician education and patient education. The centerpiece of the clinician arm is an online portal that contains evidence based resources for clinicians who serve adolescent and young adult (AYA) males. The patient arm of the project will parallel the clinician arm and will consists of a number of activities designed to educate AYA males about the importance of their health as well as actions they can take to promote it. AYA males at are higher risk than their female contemporaries for suicide completion, ADHD diagnosis, substance abuse, homicide, risky behaviors, accidental injury and certain STIs, among other conditions. Despite this fact, with the exception of emergency care, AYA males do not typically interact with the health care system. While their female contemporaries typically seek health care for purposes of pregnancy prevention and gynecologic care, AYA males do not typically seek out care, nor are primary health care providers who may interact with them knowledgeable about the risk factors that AYA males face. Hence, AYA males acquire unrecognized and untreated infectious STIs, contribute to unplanned pregnancies and engage in behaviors which impact their communities as well as themselves.
