THE JOURNAL OF MEN'S STUDIES is a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal devoted to providing an interdisciplinary forum for the critical discussion of issues involving men and masculinities and for disseminating new knowledge about men's lives to a broad audience that includes scholars, practitioners, researchers, policy makers, and students. THE JOURNAL OF MEN'S STUDIES is published in English three times each academic year (Fall, Winter, and Spring). The Journal of Men's Studies is abstracted and indexed in the American Psychological Association's PsycINFO online database, Psychological Abstracts (print), the H. W. Wilson Humanities Abstracts, the MLA International Bibliography, and the Sage Families Studies Abstract. For this special issue, we are seeking original papers that address men's health in the broadest sense of the term from diverse theoretical perspectives and disciplines. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: various diseases and health problems for which men have higher rates of morbidity or mortality than women; the biological, psychological, behavioral, and sociocultural processes underlying male health; prevention and treatment approaches to men's illnesses; sexual, reproductive, and family planning concerns; men's bodies and body image; health concerns of special populations of men and boys; and marketing to and engagement of men in health care. Multicultural, multidisciplinary, empirical, theoretical, applied, and historical contributions, as well as critical reviews are all encouraged. Original research and analyses that propose innovative practice recommendations will be given high priority. Authors interested in this project should submit a 250-300 word proposal outlining their proposed paper (papers will be limited to a maximum of 7,500 words). A distinguished panel of men's health scholars will review all proposals. Article guidelines will be sent to authors of accepted proposals. Include author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address with each proposal. For more information contact: Dr. James Doyle, P.O.
