What do we know about gender & health in the enlarged European Union? Which are the important gender specific health concerns in the new EU-member states at present? Which are gender relevant aspects in debates like globalisation or violence?
The specific country cultures are not only different in regard to their health systems, but also in integrating gender aspects in research, policy and practice. The very definitions of health, illness and health related social problems are different. If networks focus on gender specific aspects of health and illness, the necessity for transnational communication is evident.
This book gives an overview about gender & health in the EU with a strong focus on Eastern European Countries. Instruments for bringing gender aspects in health related research, prevention and health care are introduced. The increasing importance of the internet is shown. Central elements in the process of intercultural networking are described.
The book will support the efforts of mutual understanding and gives valuable information for all who are involved in processes of networking in the field of gender & health or will do it in the future.
