Description
This book pulls together information on women's health from a health education perspective. Its goal 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, low literacy, and elderly women, who may have fewer opportunities to find health information independently. Each chapter outlines a particular clinical condition, its prevalence among women; how clinical symptoms are manifested in women; where information may be missing, biased or misleading; and effective instructional approaches for women, including patient handouts, questionnaires, and other tools for clinical use. Nurses, health educators, physicians, and those interested in women's health will find this an eye-opening and important resource.
