Poster
Posters in this session focus on individual, social, and community predictors and correlates of women’s health. Specific topics in women’s health that are covered include depression, disability, breast cancer, cervical cancer and obesity. There is a focus on the individual, social and community level factors influencing these and other health topics as well as how these factors can be used to drive interventions for women to improve their health. Novel, non-traditional ways to recruit women into health interventions and change behaviors are also presented.
Session Objectives: Identify individual, social and community level influences on women’s health. Describe how individual, social and community level influences on women’s health guide the development of interventions and outreach for women. Discuss new approaches to improving women’s health.
