Will the Phoenix Rise, and Where Should She Go?

The Women's Health Agenda

Oregon State University

This article reviews the broad spectrum of women's major health problems from a public health paradigm, which balances the need for individual freedoms and overall equity. The article begins with a brief analysis of the recroachment of women's issues and lack of reform consensus on the abundance of health issues. Specific issues discussed include social ones such as poverty and violence against women, the competition of preventive and treatment resources, specific access to care through insurance mechanisms, treatment and pharmaceutical disparities, personnel gender gaps, and iatrogenic disease pertinent to women. A lengthy agenda is presented from professional literature, research findings, and women's interest group statements. This agenda is forthright and not politically timid, presenting serious challenges to the Clinton team.
