An NIHR Collection on improving men’s health outcomesBriefing documentIntroduction: help us get research evidence to the people who need to use itThe National Institute for Health Research Centre for Engagement and Dissemination (CED) leads NIHR’s work to make health and care research informative, accessible, relevant and ready for use. The NIHR CED produces research summaries, published on NIHR Evidence, to highlight NIHR-funded research that has particular relevance and importance to specific audiences. Alerts are short, easily digestible summaries of recently published NIHR-funded research. A Collection groups together published Alerts on specific themes or issues that are of interest to certain readers (e.g. health and social care professionals, patients or carers). Alerts and Collections are brought to life by commentary from people like you, who can provide valuable professional and personal experience and insight.You can see how other Collections have been out together on the Collections section of NIHR Evidence.Improving men’s health outcomesWe have selected three Alerts that highlight research relating to men’s health, published during the last six months and two Alerts that will be published in the next few weeks.. We would be grateful for your opinion and thoughts on these Alerts from your professional and/or personal perspective. There is no such thing as a wrong opinion and we value your unique input.We will be asking a selection of contributors for their commentaries on their selection of alerts. The contributors will include:PatientsCarersClinical specialists in urology and oncologySpecialist nurseGeneral PractitionerCharities representing men’s health issuesYour commentary will help us provide the context, depth and diversity of discussion around this particular issue. We will agree with you any edits that we make to your text before publication on the NIHR Evidence website.Links to the three Alerts and the two draft Alerts are listed on the following page. You do not need to comment on all of them, but please comment on as many as you feel are relevant to your personal or professional perspective.

We would also really appreciate a short introduction (2-3 sentences) about who you are (your role/title, background, and specialist interests) plus a profile photo, so that we can acknowledge your contributions fully on the NIHR Evidence website.If you need some pointers to help you reflect on the Alerts, you might like to consider these questions:How does this research (as summarised in the Alert) relate to your professional / personal experience in a clinical healthcare environment?Would you do anything differently as a result of this research?
