Detailed information on procedures and investigations encourages the development of competencies such as: . assessing men's physical and mental health . identifying men's information needs . directing men to supportive organisations and resources . a chapter on the law and ethics covering the rights of same-sex couples, men's access to children, anti-discrimination legislation, sexual abuse of males and infertility treatment
