State Nigeria, A Study with Focus Groups: Final Report. Mimeo [Ibadan]:
Government of Nigeria
Target audience: Health managers wishing to understand poor health service
utilization - particularly in a West African context will find this useful.
Ten focus group sessions were held in Imo State Nigeria to explain the
under-utilization of public sector health services. Groups consisted of village
women, village men, elementary school teachers, traditional medical
practitioners, male civil servants, female civil servants and nursing staff.
Rural and urban sites were selected in major sub-cultural zones. Focus groups
revealed under-utilization had several causes: limited accessibility of
services; high user costs; lack of supplies; uncaring attitudes of staff;
nepotism and financial misappropriation. Implications for government action are
suggested: strategies for reducing costs; making health care more accessible;
improving the quality of services and educating the consumer. The role of the
state in health care may need clarification to ensure it complements non-state
health care provision. Suggestions are made for further research in which focus
group studies can be used throughout.

AB: An exploratory study of emergency department (ED) utilization, comparing
Israeli adult Jews and Bedouin Arabs was conducted. The data interpretation
derived from the premise that health services utilization reflects not only
morbidity patterns but characteristics of both subcultures and the structure of
health services. The Bedouins in the study are a Moslem traditional society
going through a rapid process of urbanization and modernization, with a
relative deficiency in primary health services. Data were collected from the
general ED admissions registry. Patients (17+) who arrived at the ED during the
first week of every even month of one calendar year were selected for this
study (6815 Jews and 583 Bedouins). The findings indicate that, in general
Bedouins use the ED significantly less than Jews. In both subcultures the
pattern of gender differences changes after the age of 45. The change, however,
is in the opposite direction. Differences in ED usage among Bedouin age-sex
groups are discussed in terms of changes in social status during a period of
socio-cultural transition. -from Authors

wages for family survival (involving higher expenditures for men's health than
women's) and gender differences in illness were influential in health care
decisions. -from Author

AB: Women's culturally and socially determined roles greatly impair their
health and that of their children through a complex web of physiological and
behavioural interrelationships and synergies that pervade every aspect of their
lives. Women's roles also affect their use of health services since modern
health care has been absorbed so successfully into traditional structures that
families tend to allocate it, like food, according to characteristics such as
sex and age. Change may be occurring through the agency of female education and
a redefinition of familial relationships, both of which operate to improve
women's position, and hence their health. Health services could perhaps
accelerate the process by revising their view of women as the natural guardians
of their family's health, and by drawing other family members, and particularly
husbands, into their orbit. -Author

AB: Highlights several issues related to gender and health in the Third World
on which information, especially of an empirical nature, is inadequate. These
include certain health conditions and diseases for which gender differences
remain largely uncharted, gender inequalities in the development of health and
7
contraceptive technology, the lack of gender-sensitivity in the provision of health
services, and gender inequalities in health policies, focusing mainly on structural
adjustment. Questions urgently requiring research are identified and suggestions are
made for improving the gender sensitivity of health policies and interventions. Author

WELBOURN, A. (1992) Rapid Rural Appraisal, gender and health: alternative ways
of listening to needs. IDS Bulletin 23(1): 8-18.
Target audience: This detailed account of a training model to encourage gender
awareness would interest trainers, fieldworkers and planners. RRA can be used as a
tool for training development workers to address the issues of "gender and health at
grassroots level". Four steps show how various RRA exercises were used for training
purposes : 1. Analysis of Difference - trainees are asked to explain the differences in
seasonal calendars drawn by separate groups of men and women in Sierra Leone.
Their first response was to say the men's maps were simply "better". 2. Health versus
Wealth - a problem priority matrix ranking exercise from Bangladesh shows how
landless women were more concerned with income than health issues. 3. A Better
Understanding - development workers learn to use RRA techniques to explore options
in more depth with the community. 4. A Better Response - "the increased empathy
with villagers" generated by these RRA activities has allowed workers to explore
more
sensitive health issues.

AB: The health sector has found it particularly difficult to incorporate into its policy
frameworks, its research practice and the planning and management of health delivery
systems, a gendered approach which addresses simultaneously and equitably the
different preventative and curative health needs of both women and men. This paper
explores some of the reasons for this in relation to the impact of health policy on lowincome men and women in the Third World, as it has evolved under changing
development policy approaches over recent decades. It suggests that gender relations
in society and gender stereotyping in health policy skew access to health care along
gender lines. There is a concomitant danger that men are ignored by promotional and
preventative programmes, and women are denied curative care outside their
reproductive role. -from Author DE: health-policy; development-policy; genderrelations; women'-s-health

and differences in health opportunities and hazards are addressed. The effect of
poverty on the health and status of the poor, poor women in particular is discussed to
illustrate the links between socio-economic development, gender and health. The
phenomenon of son preference/daughter neglect and their impact on women's health,
and the health hazards associated with childbearing are described. Recommendations
are made for improving the access of women to health care and the health status of
women and their children, and for reducing the gender bias in the health sector.

LO: Latin America, Caribbean Islands
AB: With special reference to Latin America and the Caribbean, access to health care
for women in developing countries is assessed. Available literature on the concept as
it relates to variables such as accountability, affordability and acceptability of health
services, considering both the socio-economic crisis of the last decade and equity
objectives, is reviewed. The ability to pay for services appears to be an important
determinant of access to health care. Other variables point to: behavioural issues
including motivation, health-seeking behaviour and perception of illness; sociocultural issues such as values, education, religion; or demographic variables related to
age. It is concluded that policies should emphasize promotion of social participation
of women in order to secure access to health care. From author's summary.

Target audience: These symposium proceedings will be of special interest to
researchers and practitioners working on health promotion.
This document reports on the proceedings of an international symposium on
participatory research (PR) in health promotion, which was held in Liverpool, UK
in September 1993. It contains the full text of three keynote addresses: an
historical perspective to participatory research; the challenges and concerns
presented by feminism; and a case study of participatory action research in a
women's health programme in India. Short (2-3 page) summaries of the
introductions to the workshops are also presented, covering a range of PR and
health-related issues. These include: training in PR; examples of frameworks to
implement PR; evaluation of participation; relationships between research
institutions and communities; integration of PR in government services;
participation of health workers in formative research and evaluation; PR in
healthy city projects in the UK; community-based needs assessment and health
information systems; reflections on and examples of PR in women's health; use of
PR in HIV/AIDS prevention; the use of draw and write methods with
schoolchildren; PR and the promotion of health in the work setting; and the use
of PR in water and sanitation projects.
Keywords: Participatory research / health

reproductive health. RRA Notes 16: 63-68.
Target audience: The methods described in this article would interest
fieldworkers, trainers and researchers, particularly working in the field of
women's health.
A workshop was held in India to "adapt some of the participatory methods
developed within agriculture for conducting PRA exercises on women's health". A
"body mapping" exercise was conducted with a group of traditional birth
attendants to discuss their concepts of reproduction, contraception and
37
nutrition. A village mapping exercise led later to construction of "pregnancy
time lines" and information on family planning acceptors. The article briefly
mentions constraints, such as how to deal with sensitive issues like abortion.

Target audience: This clear and detailed description of a social mapping
exercise used to train health workers, would interest trainers of trainers,
trainers, health workers and field workers, particularly in NGOs.
The Women's Development Project (WDP) of CARE-Bangladesh trains women in
441
villages as local health educators. A mapping activity was conducted in a
village in Tangail with thirteen of these women. In three "para" (neighbourhood)
groups, the women drew maps using sticks and flour, showing the households that
they worked with and which new health practices (family planning, latrine etc)
they had adopted. The maps (which are given in Figure 1) made the health workers
aware of their achievements and helped them plan for the future. The article
ends with a list of uses of participatory mapping in WDP's work as a whole.

DAQQA, A. (1990) Report of the Participatory Rapid Appraisal on Women in the
Gaza Strip: Evaluation Report. Mimeo [London]: Save the Children Fund 49 p.
Target audience: Although only a small part of this study is concerned directly
with health, it is a clear and comprehensive account of how health is related to
other socio-economic circumstances. This excellent report will be of interest
to a wide audience of gender researchers, health practitioners and trainers in
the Middle East and NGOs working in conflict prone environments.
A three day training workshop and three weeks of fieldwork were conducted by a
team of nine women in two parts (one typically urban and the other typically
rural) of the Gaza Strip. The purpose was to understand the social and economic
roles of women better, to obtain more information on women's projects and teach
PRA methods to other women. A wide range of PRA tools were used. The PRA
covered all aspects of women's socio-economic wellbeing including health. In
the urban areas, health problems include the psychological and physical stress
consistent with exposure to military activities. Possible development
alternatives are discussed and ranked: a health clinic is the first of four
alternatives in the rural area and the third of seven in the urban area

AB: This paper presents results of focus group discussions with village women
in two rural counties in Yunnan, China. The data are derived from 28 focus
group discussions conducted by the Women's Reproductive Health and Development
Program in Yunnan as part of a comprehensive assessment of reproductive health
needs in poorer, more remote areas of the two counties. Results show how the
women's health and their use of health services are rightly intertwined with
their labor roles, harsh environmental conditions and oppressive poverty.
40
Widespread breakdowns in the village-level primary health care network lead
village women to express a profound lack of confidence in local health sevices.
The findings have several implications for planning and implementation. Demands
on womens' scarce time need to be explicitly considered when designing health
education activities and health service delivery. Reproductive health
strategies should be integrated with other efforts to improve women's social
status, increase their educational and occupational opportunities, and
alleviate their labor burdens. -from Authors

AB: Women appear to develop stronger immunological responses to M. leprae than
men, as suggested by lower incidence and less severe clinical forms of disease
in most areas of the world. Genetic factors and physiological status including
pregnancy, intercurrent infection and malnutrition might be among the factors
which modulate this response. Women in leprosy-endemic areas of the world, with
few exceptions, suffer from marked economic and social dependency and
inferiority which can only he heighted by the social stigma associated with
leprosy. Nevertheless, they bear an enormous responsibility for the health of
their families, often as head of the household, and they often possess a unique
41
capacity to influence community opinion. The incorporation of women at all
levels into active roles in health care programs may constitute one of the
decisive factors in the success of failure of leprosy control. The argument is
explored with reference to Venezuela. -from Authors

AB: This paper examines the underlying assumptions that have led to a lack of
attention to women's health, particularly in developing countries, beyond the context
of their reproductive roles. It is argued that the peculiar nature of women'
responsibilities both in economic production and within the family may have a
profound impact on the extent to which they are affected by tropical diseases and their
responses to disease. It is suggested that the gender relations of health are of
considerable significance in explaining the differential consequences of tropical
disease on women, men and children. The paper proposes a framework for gendersensitive research on this topic and suggests some new directions for research. Authors DE: tropical-disease; medical-geography; women'-s-health; gender-issue;

AB: Gender planning is specifically applied to primary health care. A theoretical
discussion of issues which focus on greater 'mainstream' participation of women in
health and development programmes is viewed as a process of empowerment. The
theoretical discussion is integrated with a methodology for planning and evaluating
gender-focused health programmes. Planning and evaluation are linked in a single
feed- back relationship. Relevance of all investigations is discussed and specific
methods suggested.-Author
