摘要
The increasing attention placed on women′s reproductive health issues in recent years has produced a corresponding interest in the role that communication plays--from promoting better health care to fostering greater well-being. Evaluating Women′s Health Messages is the first systematic examination of women′s health communication. Compiling the works of over 30 contributors, editors Roxanne Louisselle Parrott and Celeste Condit explore the various forms health messages take--medical, social scientific, and public--and the ways in which they compare with and contradict each other. The book is at once groundbreaking and comprehensive, examining the range of health issues from political, historical, technological, social support, and feminist perspectives--all within the broad framework of communication. With two chapters on each topic, the book provides a variety of perspectives on such issues as abortion, infertility, drug and alcohol use in pregnancy, childbirth, prenatal care, AIDS, breast cancer, reproductive technologies, menstruation, menopause, and hysterectomy. Evaluating Women′s Health Messages is a vital tool for every professional interested in women′s health concerns as well as students taking courses in health communication, woman′s health, public health, sociology of health, health education, and gender studies.

This book examines medical, social research, and public messages about women's health. It analyzes the various modes of delivering messages to show consistencies, inconsistencies, and gaps in research and in our understanding of women's healthcare. It is intended to provide an overview of the pattern of gaps and biases in public media, campaign messages, and medical and social research/information about women's healthcare. The book is aimed at nonacademicians, media consumers of women's health messages, and academicians, students and health practitioners specializing in women's health, and in addition, those involved in the social sciences. The book has few illustrations, and those are black-and-white. Perhaps a little more attention here would have enhanced the book. On the other hand, the references are current, very pertinent, and come from a wide variety of sources. This is an excellent book. The subject matter is thoroughly and broadly researched by experts from a variety of U .S. universities and colleges. The content is presented in a unique, realistic, and relevant way, emphasizing the role politics and the media play in the process of constructing messages about women's healthcare. Moreover, a broad framework is used to outline the topic, including environmental, sociopolitical, and economic dimensions of women's healthcare messages. The book would be most useful for the well educated public, women's health advocacy groups, students and health practitioners specializing in women's health, in addition to social scientists. I highly recommend that libraries, bookstores, and individuals purchase it. Helen M. Murphy, MSN, MPH, RN(University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill School of Nursing). Copyright 2001, Doody Publishing

This book is unique in that it attempts to identify the gaps in both scientific and media health messages to women. There are six parts: historical, political, campaign agendas, fetal and maternal health, social support, and contemporary priorities. Chapters provide a critical summary of medical and/or social scientific research on the topic, and a descriptive and critical analysis of mass-mediated messages women receive about medical/scientific information. Thus, one may identify consistencies, inconsistencies, and gaps in the research, as well as incongruities in the translation of scientific literature to media messages. Topics include abortion, substance abuse, contraception, childbirth, prenatal care, reproductive and breast cancer, reproductive technology, menstrual health, and AIDS. An introductory chapter identifies major gaps in women's health, and a final chapter raises questions for future direction. Each chapter includes endnotes. There are biographical sketches of chapter authors. Appropriate for individuals interested in women's health issues, health care professionals, and those in public health, media, and journalism. Level: general; upper-division undergraduate through professional. M. Auterman Augustana College (SD)
