The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the Ad Council are launching a new movement on behalf of their national public service advertising campaign designed to encourage middle-age men to learn which preventive medical tests they need to get and when to get them. Can you help us get the word out about the importance of men's preventive health care this Father's Day, during National Men's Health Week (June 14 - 20) and year round?
o Send the men in their lives this new e-card for Father's Day (http://www.dadtothedoc.org/)
o Ask your husbands, fathers, brothers, etc. to take the health quiz (http://www.ahrq.gov/healthymen/quiz.htm)
o Encourage the men you know to visit ahrq.gov/healthymen, which provides recommended ages for preventive medical tests, a health care quiz designed to test knowledge of preventive health care, tips for talking with doctors, a glossary of consumer health terms, and links to online resources to find more medical information. Also, keep an eye out for the new PSA's encouraging dad's to take care of their health.
- Tweet about your men's preventive health campaign, sharing the www.ahrq.gov/healthymen and the http://www.dadtothedoc.org/ URLs. The hashtag for the campaign is #dadtothedoc
- Let your Facebook friends know about the campaign's Facebook page (facebook.com/healthymen) and the incredible resources available.
- Sit down with the men in your life and take a look at the tools needed for a healthy future. Send the health e-card this Father's Day to remind the men you love about the importance of protecting his health this Father's Day and for many more to come.
