This specific Men\u2019s Health Week is about Men and the pharmacy. The organisers have also suggested sharing resources from previous years which discuss a diverse variety of topics. These include stress, diabetes, prostate health, mental health and Covid-19.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the spirit of having a broad conversation about Men\u2019s health we have collected a really varied selection of books and pamphlets encompassing different time periods. One particularly interesting pamphlet on hygiene, <em>Cleanliness Pays: The Man\u2019s Book of Health<\/em>, was written by LSHTM\u2019s own Andrew Balfour, who you may recognise from the plaque by the entrance to the school, and was published posthumously in 1939. Other books and pamphlets investigate the topic more broadly whilst some focus in on topics such as reproductive health and mental health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Books<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Payne, Sarah. <em>The Health of Men and Women<\/em>.
