abstract="<b>Background:</b> Identification of masculine values associated with men's depression and suicide risk may generate new intervention targets for those with known static risk factors (e.g., exposure to childhood maltreatment).<b>Aims:</b> To validate the factor structure of a measure of health-related masculine values and examine correlates relative to childhood maltreatment exposure.<b>Method:</b> Self-report data was collected from 530 Canadian men, mean age 47.91 years (SD  =  14.51).<b>Results:</b> Confirmatory factor analysis validated an abbreviated eight-item, two-factor model of the Intensions Masculine Values Scale (IMVS-8; CFI = .984, TLI = .977, RMSEA = .054, SRMR = .032). Cluster groups of low (<i>n</i> = 57), moderate (<i>n</i> = 206) and high (<i>n</i> = 267) adherence to these health-related masculine values were identified, equivalent on exposure to childhood maltreatment and previous mental health treatment. A multivariate group × maltreatment interaction was observed (<i>p</i> = .017) whereby males in the low cluster with a maltreatment history endorsed higher mood-related symptomology. This same pattern was observed in a univariate group × maltreatment interaction for suicide risk (<i>p</i> = .006).<b>Conclusions:</b> Health-related masculine values were associated with lower depression and suicide risk in men who have a history of childhood maltreatment. Future intervention studies should investigate whether development of health-related masculine values can reduce depression and suicide risk among men with a history of childhood maltreatment.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
