To mark its 21st birthday, the Men's Health Forum in Ireland commissioned ARK to undertake the Men's Health in Numbers project.  The aim was to collate key statistics on men's health on the island of Ireland.  The project was funded by the Health Service Executive’s Health and Wellbeing Division. Within ARK, the project was led by Paula Devine and Erin Early.
