Men's Health Programs Lag By A 5:1 Margin At DHHS
Submitted by Scott on Fri, 2001-01-26 03:55
This Report to Congress from Men's Health America analyzes the data and concludes that men's health is being neglected at a rate of five times women's health in terms of funding and programs. "The first-ever survey of men's health programs in the
federal government has revealed that men's health trails women's health by a 5:1 margin. According to the Report to Congress: Men's Health Lags by a 5:1 Margin at DHHS, which was released today, the budget for men's health programs at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services totaled $963.6 million, compared to $5 billion for women's health."
