Conference Goals

OWH identified several goals for the Charting New Frontiers in Rural Women's Health Conference:

  • Discuss the latest sex- and gender-specific research and programs to improve the health status of women, especially rural women.
  • Translate sex- and gender-specific research into clinical practice by sharing programs and tools that have proven effective in applying the research and addressing the social concerns of women living in rural areas.
  • Share strategies with national and regional change agents to enhance effective outreach to rural women and their families and increase support for women's programs and services.
  • Provide hands-on workshops to teach participants how to implement programs in their own communities.
