In March 2021, Promundo and Dove Men+Care carried out a nationally-representative survey in the United States focused on the links between men’s care for themselves (physical, emotional and mental, and social) and their care for the people in their lives. Importantly, this research showed that men embracing care has a ripple effect that impacts everyone for the better. Men who make self care part of their regular routine spend more than 3 hours a day caring for others and are twice as likely to help with household work.
The timing of the survey was particularly important given that participants had been settled into a “pandemic routine” for the past year, which allowed the study to examine their behaviors in the pandemic more deeply. Promundo and Dove Men+Care also conducted 23 in-depth interviews with individuals to gather insight into their attitudes and practices on a wide variety of topics related to care. (From the website).
