Agenda for Research on Women's Health for the 21st Century. Sex and Gender Perspectives for Women's Health Research. Scientific Meeting and Public Hearing. Held in New Orleans, Louisiana in June 1997. Volume 5

摘要

This was the second of a series of regional workshops and scientific meetings during which the Office of Research on Women's Health of the National Institutes of Health had an opportunity to learn about the public's and scientific community's visions of the Women's Health Research Agenda for the 21st Century. The public testimony and the recommendations developed by the working groups assisted us in reexamining the existing NIH agenda for women's health research. Utilizing scientific directives in a science-driven agenda, the authors assessed their current priorities, with the assistance of their Task Force on the NIH Women's Health Research Agenda for the 21st Century and the Advisory Committee on Research on Women's Health, which are composed of non-federal scientists, health care providers, educators, and women's health advocates.
