  Interventions: With adult men
RCT examined effects of fertility education (brochure) on knowledge & consult
Intervention: Infertility definition, prevalence, & causes; ages at which female fertility declines, male infertility, fertile period timing & risks for reduced fertility (e.g. sexually transmitted infections, unhealthy weight, smoking & alcohol use)
Controls: Healthy pre-pregnancy (Control 1) or Family policies (Control 2)
• 2-years later, intervention (vs. control) men (aged 20-39) had:
ed fertility knowledge (+11% change; no change in controls)
ed new medical consult/treatment for fertility (12% vs. C1: 8% & C2: 1%)

   Interventions: Using technology
Pre-/post-test design examined online education on knowledge of fertility & assisted reproductive technologies (ART), & beliefs about parenthood timing1 • All childless participants (men aged 18-35) read 10 online posts
ed knowledge & beliefs immediately after, but this was not sustained at 6-months, especially among men
Web-based intervention targeting young cancer patients with sexual problems & fertility distress was found to be feasible & acceptable2
 • Only 5 of 23 participants were male
• Study did not examine links to fertility care
