Book Description
The goal of this book is to fill the many gaps that health care providers face when helping women learn self care and prevention skills. Special attention is paid to minority status, low literacy, and elderly women who may have fewer opportunities to find health information independently. While this is ample information on reproductive health available, women experience a lack of timely information on nonreproductive health issues, such major killers as lung cancer and cardiovascular disease; adequate information for family caregivers, who are mostly women; and other disorders, ranging from AIDS to osteoporosis and urinary incontinence. Nurses, health educators, physicians, and those interested in women's health will find this an eye-opening and important resource.

Women's Health Research
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309163374
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 439
Book Description
Even though slightly over half of the U.S. population is female, medical research historically has neglected the health needs of women. However, over the past two decades, there have been major changes in government support of women's health research-in policies, regulations, and the organization of research efforts. To assess the impact of these changes, Congress directed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to ask the IOM to examine what has been learned from that research and how well it has been put into practice as well as communicated to both providers and women. Women's Health Research finds that women's health research has contributed to significant progress over the past 20 years in lessening the burden of disease and reducing deaths from some conditions, while other conditions have seen only moderate change or even little or no change. Gaps remain, both in research areas and in the application of results to benefit women in general and across multiple population groups. Given the many and significant roles women play in our society, maintaining support for women's health research and enhancing its impact are not only in the interest of women, they are in the interest of us all.
