Given the growing interest in the impacts of gender ideology on adolescent boys’ well-being, there is a call for programs to support the development of healthy and positive constructs of masculinity. The WiseGuyz program at the Calgary Sexual Health Centre is a sexual health and healthy relationship program addressing the need for interventions that promote positive and healthy constructs of masculinity identified in the literature. Using the Male Role Norms Inventory Scale–Adolescent–revised (MRNI-A-r) standardized scale and focus groups, data were gathered from 52 adolescent boys enrolled in the WiseGuyz program. Results suggest that participation in the WiseGuyz program lessens boys’ endorsement of traditional masculinity ideologies, as indicated by changes in the MRNI-A-r and focus group data
