Abstract
This chapter provides a summary of the evidence presented throughout the book with respect to advancing health promotion efforts with boys and young men of colour (BYMOC). It outlines the importance of intersectionality with respect to age, culture, context, and gender. We specifically highlight the importance of masculinities and gender identities in the way health promotion strategies are developed with BYMOC at local, regional, national and global levels. Our intention is for this work to educate, inspire, and stimulate new models, interventions, collaborations, and research that helps BYMoC realise their health and well-being aspirations, and life goals.
