and effectiveness of education, supports and services for men’s health,
including but not limited to:
- level of Commonwealth, state and other funding
addressing men’s health, particularly prostate cancer, testicular cancer,
and depression,
- adequacy of existing education and awareness
campaigns regarding men’s health for both men and the wider community,

health and sense of wellbeing and how these are affecting men’s health in
general, and
