Men's life expectancy is shorter than women's, on average, by 5 years. Men are more likely to be affected by many of the common chronic diseases and are also less likely to seek medical care unless they are very sick. The Tobacco and Chronic Disease Prevention (TCDP) Program has compiled these resources to help improve the health of the men in our lives. In addition to promotion and awareness campaigns, here you will find information on services offered for men at the Pima County Health Department including education, information and counseling, condom supplies, emergency contraception, and sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment.
Through partnerships and collaborations, TCDP supports and promotes comprehensive approaches to reduce and prevent tobacco use and chronic diseases.
