Rural Indian women's care-seeking behavior and choice of provider for gynecological symptoms.

This study uses data from the India National Family and Health Survey-2 conducted in 1998-99 to investigate the level and correlates of care-seeking and choice of provider for gynecological symptoms among currently married women in rural India. Of the symptomatic women surveyed, 31 percent sought care, overwhelmingly from private providers (70 percent). Only 8 percent of women consulted frontline paramedical health workers. Care-seeking behavior and type of providers consulted varied significantly across different Indian states. Significant differentials in care-seeking by age, caste, religion, education, household wealth, and women's autonomy suggest the existence of multiple cultural, economic, and demand-side barriers to care-seeking. Although socially disadvantaged women were less likely than better-off women to consult private providers, the majority of even the poorest, uneducated, and lower-caste women consulted private providers. Geographical access to public health facilities had no significant association with choice of provider, whereas access to private providers had only a moderately significant association with that choice. The predominance of use of private services for self-perceived gynecological morbidity warrants the inclusion of private providers in the national reproductive health strategy to enhance its effectiveness.

Health care services for lesbian and bisexual women: some Canadian data.

Specific health needs and health services for lesbian and bisexual women are relatively invisible in existing research, with little Canadian data on these topics. To redress such gaps, data were selectively analyzed from a larger study with 98 lesbian/bisexual women living in a Maritime Province in Canada. As part of a semistructured interview, women were asked to indicate whether a particular health care service was important to them. General physical examination, Pap smear, breast examination, and holistic medicine were the four services chosen with the highest frequency. HIV/AIDS information/screening and safer sex information were judged important by over half of the participants. When asked to rank their top three services, however, participants chose the physical examination, holistic medicine, and psychological counseling. Our results are discussed in terms of barriers to basic health care, accessibility of services, and the importance of accurate information about AIDS and safer sex.

Schedule for rating disabilities; gynecological conditions and disorders of the breast--VA. Final regulation.

This document amends the section of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Schedule for Rating Disabilities on Gynecological Conditions and Disorders of the Breast. This amendment is based on a General Accounting Office (GAO) study noting that there has been no comprehensive review of the rating schedule since 1945, and recommending that such a review be conducted. The intended effect of this action is to update the gynecological and breast disorders section of the rating schedule to ensure that it uses current medical terminology, unambiguous criteria, and that it reflects medical advances which have occurred since the last review.
