Healthy Manhood Index

Healthy Manhood Index

A breakthrough research program defining what healthy, purposeful manhood looks like today, giving men, clinicians and practitioners a clear, strengths-based framework for navigating the pressures and expectations of modern manhood. Built around a rigorous multi-country development and validation process , the Index translates that framework into practical tools and resources designed for real-world use.

Who it’s for

RESEARCHERS & CLINICIANS

To use an evidence-based measure of healthy manhood in research, clinical practice and program design.

PROGRAM DESIGNERS & PRACTITIONERS

To access classroom materials, clinical guidance, peer discussion resources and self-assessment tools built directly from the Index.

POLICYMAKERS & FUNDERS

To understand what a strengths-based, evidence-informed approach to men's health looks like, and how to support it at scale.

MEN

To have access to a framework that offers clarity and direction on what healthy, purposeful manhood can look like, without prescribing a single way to live.

GLOBAL IMPACT

Most existing research on men and masculinity has focused on what to avoid, leaving men, clinicians and programs without a clear picture of what to move toward.
