Description: This book illuminates the need for-and the gains that can be achieved by-targeting prevention/health promotion programs toward minority and low-income women in the communities where they live. Reflecting the rise of women's health issues to a national priority in the last decade, the book explores the individual and contextual factors-biological, sociocultural, economic, and environmental-that affect the quality and length of women's lives. It examines current research on disease prevention and the need for health promotion, particularly with minority and hard-to-reach women, and suggests directions for future investigation.
