2020 Tennessee Men’s Health Report Card: Overall improvement, work to be done

Men’s health across Tennessee is trending toward improvement, according to the 2020 Tennessee Men’s Health Report Card, but racial and geographic disparities persist.  

Compiled by Vanderbilt University’s Center for Research on Men’s Health in cooperation with Vanderbilt University Medical Center, the Tennessee Department of HealthMeharry Medical College and the Tennessee Men’s Health Network, the TMHRC reports the state of health and well-being in men across Tennessee and is used to guide policy advocacy and practices across the state.

Derek M. Griffith, professor of medicine, health and society and founder and director of the CRMH, led the development of the fifth report card.
