Bringing Men’s Health Resources Together
As the topic of male health grows, the number of resources, projects, tools and content available also increases dramatically. While this is a good thing and reflects the growing profile of male health, it also means that it can be difficult and time-consuming to stay up to date on the latest publications and research available. NSW Health is partnering with the Men’s Health Information and Resource Centre to develop a new website called ‘The Men’s Health Clearinghouse’. This project is developing a powerful resource that will gather male health content into one easy to use site. By using the search tools, tagging options and subscription tools, users will be able to stay more up to date with new resources in male health. The site is directly tailored for those who plan and implement programs and research in male health. mengage.org.au

What Is The Men’s Health Clearinghouse? The Men’s Health Clearinghouse is an innovative online system for collating, sharing and promoting programs and resources in men’s health. It is designed to enable the men’s health community to stay informed about current and past projects, publications, ideas and initiatives. This will enable the men’s health community to tap into a record of activities and content useful for driving new, local initiatives, projects and research
Who Is The Clearinghouse For? The Clearinghouse is designed specifically for three primary audiences, the main users and drivers of men’s health content and promotion: » Men’s Health Coordinators » The Health Promotion Community, and » Researchers and Policy Makers
What Will The Clearinghouse Do? Search: Use the powerful search tools to conduct broad searches on any men’s health-related topic. View: Each resource, whether it is a campaign, a published article, a set of tools, a video or something else, will be listed with as much supporting information as we can find. Subscribe: Once you’ve found a useful resource or topic on the Clearinghouse, make you use the subscription options to keep informed!
How Can I Be Involved In The Clearinghouse? MENGAGE brings together resources in male health that can be used immediately by health practitioners. The best way to be involved is to share content and resources that informs the community about better practices to engage, communicate and work with men and boys in different health areas. This can include providing factsheets, evaluations, videos or other items. You can use the resources to provide both male health information and to raise awareness of your own service, research or organisation.
