Health promotion/risk reduction and disease prevention in women's health.

摘要

This special issue is focused on health promotion, risk reduction, and disease prevention in women's health. Women's health care is an important focal area for nurse practitioners (NPs) and is specified as one of the population specialties for NP preparation. As well, the majority of patient care visits to NPs who specialize in adult, family, and gerontology practice are from women. Therefore, it is particularly apt for the Journal of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners to offer this special issue highlighting research, literature reviews, and clinical papers that focus on aspects of health promotion, risk reduction, and disease prevention for women.
