  • DUBLIN, June 9, 2022 – A recent survey of 1,517 U.S. men ages 18-80 commissioned by Men’s Health magazine publisher Hearst media company found that less than half of men surveyed rated their physical (40%), mental (42%) and sexual (35%) health as excellent or very good.Lack of knowledge around sexual and mental health was particularly significant. Over half of all men surveyed reported they didn’t know about ways to improve their overall mental health (54%).1 Of the sexually active men (n=1,331) surveyed, over half (53%) stated they didn’t know about how to improve their sexual health. To address this public health gap, Endo International plc (NASDAQ:ENDP), in partnership with Vault Health, the Sexual Medicine Society of North America (SMSNA) and Men’s Health Network (MHN), launched Healthy Now: A Men’s Health Coalition, which encourages men to make their physical, sexual and mental health a priority through awareness and access to resources. 

     

    The Healthy Now website, www.VisitHealthyNow.com, provides educational information about men’s health conditions, guidance on how men should take care of themselves as they age and access to a free virtual consultation through Vault Health’s secure portal—all from the privacy and comfort of their home.
