There is increasing evidence that men may be particularly reluctant to seek professional help due to traditional masculine attitudes encouraging self-sufficiency, stoicism and toughness.
“In addition, there is increasing evidence that men may be particularly reluctant to seek professional help due to traditional masculine attitudes encouraging self-sufficiency, stoicism and toughness (White et al., 2011).”
From e-TC: Development and pilot testing of a web-based intervention to reduce anxiety and depression in survivors of testicular cancer (2017) · cites this paper as White et al., 2011
The Practice section (page unavailable) reports that young men with more traditional beliefs about masculinity are less likely to use health services, and that men are less likely to seek help for mental health problems. It does not identify self-sufficiency, stoicism or toughness as the attitudes responsible for that reluctance. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe vast majority of studies have found profound gender differences in help-seeking behaviour.
“the vast majority of studies have found profound gender differences in help-seeking behaviour”
From A systematic review of the factors associated with delays in medical and psychological help-seeking among men (2015) · cites this paper as White et al., 2011
The Practice section says men traditionally use appropriate care less than women and are less likely to contact health services for mental health problems. This supports a gender difference in help-seeking, but the paper does not say that the vast majority of studies found such differences or characterize them as profound. No page number is available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSerious health problems can arise when men fail to seek help when they experience symptoms, resulting in poorer health outcomes for men and an extra burden on the healthcare system.
“Serious health problems can arise when men fail to seek help when they experience symptoms, resulting in both poorer health outcomes for men, and an extra burden on the healthcare system”
From A systematic review of the factors associated with delays in medical and psychological help-seeking among men (2015) · cites this paper as White et al., 2011
The Practice section says men use appropriate care less often and are less likely to contact health services for mental health problems, potentially risking deterioration and suicide. This supports the concern about poorer outcomes from not seeking help, but the paper does not link symptom-related delays to an extra burden on the healthcare system. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredPublic health experts are realising that it is not a good strategy to wait for men to actively seek out information because of their low propensity to do this.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
