Guidelines for the analysis of Gender and Health (Training manual) Health policy makers and practitioners usually have little training in recognising and addressing gender issues. Although there is a range of materials available which offer general assistance in considering gender issues in development practice, few refer specifically to the issues which are most relevant to health. The Gender and Health Group at the Liverpool School for Tropical Medicine has developed these “Guidelines for Gender Analysis in Health” to offer such specific assistance to health professionals. The overall aim of the guidelines is to enhance the ability to understand and respond to gender issues amongst those involved in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of health care provision and health research. |
