The Globe and Mail featured UBC research for a story on the Dudes Club, a health group in the Downtown Eastside.
UBC school of nursing researchers are evaluating the program as part of a three-year, $270,000 study financed by Movember Canada.
Surveys and interviews with 150 of the club’s participants found a “dose effect.” This means that when the men participate more in the program, they have more confidence to address their health issues and support others.
