Tailoring Lifestyle Interventions for Obese Men

Made publicly available during Men’s Health Week 2011, this resource booklet summarises the key findings from an MA thesis conducted at the Centre for Men’s Health in the Institute of Technology Carlow.  The study sought to establish best practice guidelines in tailoring lifestyle interventions for obese men in the Primary Care setting.  The thesis was conducted between October 2008 and September 2010, and was carried out in partnership with the Community Nutrition and Dietitian Service (CNDS), Health Service Executive South, and a number of General Practices in the south-east area of Ireland.  The booklet was produced by Majella McCarthy and Noel Richardson, and is available in Portable Document Format (PDF) at: www.mhfi.org/tacklingmaleobesity.pdf
