Summary

Examining whether men with greater Avoidance to Femininity subscores using the Male Role Norms Inventory - Short Form will demonstrate differences in skin care knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors, compared to men with lower subscores.

Detailed description

This purpose of this study is to examine whether a man's adherence to traditional masculine norms correlates with his skin care attitudes or behaviors. A stronger understanding of these associations may enable dermatologists to better understand their patient's perception of skin care. The utility of this knowledge lies in creating outreach interventions and informing risk stratification. The study also seeks to determine whether skin care knowledge varies by adherence to masculine norms. This knowledge can be used to guide patient education in a clinical setting.
