Abstract:
The authors conducted a study to determine women's perceived health information needs in various geographic locations to plan health-related outreach in a Midwestern U.S. state. Eighty-seven women representing diverse communities in both urban and rural locations participated. Themes identified from transcripts of focus groups included confusion and information overload, concerns regarding lifestyle and specific health conditions, a lack of time for self care, factors influencing health-related behavior change, navigating the health system, and a need to ?make this system work for me.? The voices of these women contribute to the search for solutions to provide comprehensive, holistic women's health care in the U.S. and internationally.
