Take a Health Survey, Men, and Maybe Win an Amazon Gift Card

Our male readers over age 18 are invited to take part in a University of Memphis health survey.  What's in it for you if you participate?  A chance to enter a drawing for a $50 Amazon gift card.  Want another reason?  Okay, try this one on for size:  Your answers can help researchers figure out why men engage in more high-risk behaviors than women and why they engage in fewer health-conscious behaviors than women.  Here's your official invitation:

In the United States, men experience  more serious health concerns than women, and health-related behaviors play a  large role in morbidity and mortality. In comparison to women, men engage in
more health-risk and fewer health-promoting behaviors. The existing research on health promotion models does not address why men engage in more health-risk and fewer health-promotion behaviors.
