| Women's health encompasses not only those issues that disproportionately or only affect women (e.g., breast and cervical cancer and osteoporosis), but also those that continue to negatively impact the general population (e.g., HIV, depression and disability). This session addresses critical issues in women's health from a multicultural perspective. Topics range from bone health in low-income women and the effect of spirituality and coping on adherence to abnormal Pap follow-up to the health beliefs of Latina caregivers of adults with disabilities and the psychological and social sequelae of secondary lymphedema. | |||
| Learning Objectives: By the end of the session, the participant will be able to (1) identify issues of concern in women's health; (2) identify barriers to healthcare that impact women of varying backgrounds; and (3) describe strategies to address those barriers and improve health outcomes for all women. | |||
