Movember has announced the launch of the Movember Men’s Health Institute.

The aim of the Institute is to bring together researchers from around the globe to improve research in men’s health areas including mental health, prostate and testicular cancers, gender-specific health care, and men's health literacy.

The Institute will aim to contribute to the evidence-base and drive knowledge translation of men's health so that the findings can be integrated into practice and prevention measures are implemented. The Institute will also focus on improving men’s health literacy including improved literacy in men’s mental health and suicide prevention.
