Abstract：
Previous research has outlined evident disparities in the prevalence of chronic conditions among African Americans compared to other groups, with low-income African American men disproportionately affected by almost every disorder. Self-management programs are useful tools for managing chronic disorders beyond the doctor\'s office. This monograph provides a detailed looking into the current state of the research on low-income African American men with chronic health conditions. An intersectional approach is used to provide a nuanced synthesis of relevant literature. The project outlines the need for programs designed to engage low-income African American men with skills, resources, and tools for managing chronic conditions. Authors argue that improvements to traditional self-management programs can be realized by emphasizing culture, including end-users in the creation of programs, and offering culturally tailored strategies to improve health. Thus, any targeted program must include culturally detailed information about nutrition, exercise, stress, mental health, and leveraging social support.
