Webinar: Young adult men and the drivers of health inequalities, 19 March
In this webinar, SHERU will present their findings from two recent strands of work focusing on young men. They will compare poverty rates in Scotland and the rest of the UK, and the work of a series of Action Learning Sets held in Edinburgh and North Lanarkshire, exploring how current systems engage with this population group and where responsibility sits for prevention.
