Health Gap - Beyond Pregnancy and Reproduction

Health research regarding women often focuses on their reproductive health needs. This book works to identify gaps in gender and health research: women and AIDS, tropical disease, the working environment, barriers to quality health care, and the health of adolescent and older women. It also identifies new and emerging themes in women's health and suggests priorities for future action.

This book is based on research that resulted from a series of International Development Research Centre (IDRC) sponsored workshops on gender, health, and sustainable development. These workshops were set up to explore the health risks that women experience in developing countries compared to those of men.
