The Men’s Health Forum Bowel Cancer Project  was funded by the Department of Health. The report was launched in September 2011.

The objectives of the project were:

• To understand why men appear less willing than women to participate in the NHSBCSP.
• To recommend actions which might encourage men more seriously to consider participating in the NHSBCSP and thus potentially increase male uptake and close the gap in uptake between men and women.
• To add to the more general knowledge-base about “what works” in encouraging and enabling better male health.
