Abstract
Abstract: Historically, cisgender men have been found to be reluctant to utilize healthcare services, particularly preventive care services. NPs can bridge this gap to address health disparities among men, who are more likely to develop life-threatening conditions and who generally face higher mortality at younger ages than women. Focusing on advancing preventive care among men strengthens family, community, and societal health, and the NP is crucial in fostering a culture of preventive care in this population. To help drive this change, use of a life-stage approach that incorporates a preventive care mindset is critical. The NP should tailor health strategies to each life phase to ensure that men receive the best preventive care possible across the lifespan.
