Abstract

It would be a brave health promotion coordinator who would suggest to Primary Care Partnership health promotion sub-committee members that just providing "information" to "people who are problems" is a "best-practice" approach (Legge et aI., 1996). One, and only one, of the many reasons for the change has been the creation and dissemination of the Men's Health Promotion Strategic Framework (Hayes, 1999). This framework was developed through a project funded by the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation and commissioned by the North East Health Promotion Centre (NEHPC), Melbourne.
