Overtown Men's Health Study
At the center of the Overtown Men's Health Project is a detailed study, the Overtown Men's Health Study. The study utilized a survey instrument designed for the historic African American neighborhood just north of downtown Miami, Florida USA. The extensive questionnaire, administered during the spring of Y2005 to men in Overtown ages 18 years and older, assessed health status, behaviors, knowledge, and access to care. The questionnaire also captured sociodemographic data to render a richer picture of men's social and economic experiences in Overtown, asking about such matters as incarceration, homelessness, police-involvement, education, and employment.
