In 2024, NewMexicoWomen.Org commissioned an evaluation of the 1st Edition of the New Mexico Healthy Masculinities Toolkit in order to understand its usage, impacts, and potential areas for improvement.

The evaluation employed a Community Based Participatory approach and used the Family Systems theory as a framework. Data was gathered from three sources including: the October 2023 Healthy Masculinities Retreat Notes, a Healthy Masculinities Toolkit Questionnaire with over 80 total responses from English and Spanish users, and qualitative data from key informants who downloaded and engaged the toolkit in some community capacity. The October 2023 Healthy Masculinities Retreat Notes served as an underpinning to gain more information through the questionnaire and the qualitative data from key informants.

Findings from this evaluation informed the development of a Healthy Masculinities and Parenting Webinar Series offered by the Healthy Masculinities Community of Practice during the summer of 2024, as well as updates to the toolkit, in the form a NM Healthy Masculinities Toolkit 2nd Edition, published in 2025.
