Studies show that black men are more likely to seek medical
attention, follow a healthy diet and take prescribed
medications if there is a woman in their lives. In short,
black women are the key to saving their men’s lives, and
thus, they are seeking answers about many health issues. The
first of it’s kind, THE BLACK WOMAN’S GUIDE TO BLACK MAN’S
HEALTH is a comprehensive guide packed with valuable medical
information, prescriptive advice and personal stories from
both celebrity and non-celebrity women about their men’s
health issues. The book will be divided into chapters
covering key health topics that affect black men, such as
lung, prostate and colon cancer, obesity, heart disease,
diabetes, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, mental health ,
substance abuse, HIV/AIDS and violence against young black
men. The book will provide strategies for building health
partnerships both within the home and the community, finding
the right healthcare and health insurance providers and
gaining access to the best care possible. Each chapter will
cover a specific health topic and will offer: • A personal narrative from a woman (celebrity or
non-celebrity) on her experience with that health issue
• Important facts about the disease as it affects the black
community
• A discussion of available treatment options
• Advice on preventative steps women can take to combat risk
