Marjorie Michel says urgent action is needed to improve men’s health—highlighting high rates of substance use disorder and certain cancers—and argues that enhancing men’s health will reduce suffering, improve well-being and save billions annually, supporting a men’s health strategy.

Rechie Valdez supports a men’s mental health strategy, saying that cultural messages push men and boys to 'tough it out' and that true strength is taking care of one's health; she advocates shifting messaging to encourage help-seeking and self-care.
