Young Men’s Health

Youngmenshealthsite.org (YMH) is a website developed by the Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital. The purpose of the website is to provide carefully researched health information to teenage boys and young men.

The Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine has a long-standing commitment to providing health information to teen boys, young men, and their parents. Back in 1999, the Adolescent Medicine Division started making health information available on adolescenthealth.com. In 2008, with expert revisions, new web design, and new contributions by our world-class health-care providers, those early pages evolved into the current website.We are also grateful to the staff of the Center for Young Women’s Health (the creators of youngwomenshealth.org), who paved the way in content development, site structure, and design.

The mission of youngmenshealthsite.org is to help teen boys and their parents improve their understanding of normal health and development, as well as of specific diseases and conditions. We want to empower teen boys and young men around the world to take an active role in their own health care.
