|
|
This study presents a broad overview and synthesis of the recent research literature on the major psychosocial influences on women’s health. Part 1 reviews the variability of health among women, with a particular emphasis on diversities in health according to women’s major social roles of partner, parent, and worker. Part 2 reviews research on differences between men and women on various indicators of health and ill-health. This review of the literature identified a number of general gaps in knowledge, particularly with respect to the Canadian context.
