Responsible Health Communication

Taking Control of Our Lives

University of Limburg, the Netherlands

Recent emphasis on the value of patient involvement in defining and resolving health care issues has shifted this perspective toward one of mutual responsibility for participation in health care decisions. A Dutch model of gendered care is described: It acknowledges the traditional power imbalance between physician and patient, as well as the link between socialization of the sexes and their health issues.
