Vamos and Sandra D. Vamos  \nABSTRACT  \nObjective: This teaching strategy provides students with an opportunity to promote women’s health literacy via construction of a creative health information booklet. Students will be able to: (1) Identify health issues that affect women during one particular lifespan stage; (2) Categorize issues according to the seven dimensions of health; (3) Highlight disparities; and (4) Discuss various influences/implications. Target Audience: This strategy is geared towards highschool/collegiate students enrolled in health and/or disease courses.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nWomen’s health has evolved over time and encompasses special needs and concerns that merit exploration.“Women’s health involves a woman’s emotional, social, spiritual, and physical well-being and is determined by the social, political, and economic context of her life, as well as biology.”1 In 2006, females represented 50.8%(151,963,545) of the total U.S. population.2 Moreover, the life expectancy gap between females and males is evident as females are living longer than males (80.4 years vs. 75.2 years in 2004, respectively).3 Therefore, because of the interrelated nature of women’s health and women’s longevity, itiseven more critical that we firmly grasp the multitude of health issues that affect women across the lifespan.  \nHealth concerns across lifespan stages. Typically, the lifespan is divided into four life stages: adolescents, young adult, midlife, and the senior years.4 As a woman develops across the lifespan, particular health risks or concerns can become more prevalent. A  \nlifespan approach to women’s health involves recognizing that one’s health and well-being occurs over a continuum, while concurrently distinguishing between the various health risks and concerns that emerge and become more prominent during specific lifespan stages.  \nThroughout any lifespan stage, women should engage in healthy eating, regular exercise and avoid using drugs, alcohol and tobacco.4 The three leading causes of death for women are heart disease, cancer, and stroke. Major health problems facing the U.S. are largely preventable and the leading causes of death are attributable to lifestyle behaviors (tobacco, poor diet, lack of exercise, illicit drug use, sexual behaviors, motor vehicle crashes, firearms, etc. ) .5 In total, 70% of all premature deaths are caused by individual and environmental factors that can be modified.4  \nHowever, specific health risks within lifespan stages exist, such as adolescents being more at risk for unintentional injuries, young adults being more at risk for sexually  \ntransmitted infections, midlife women being more at risk for life stressors such as caring for their children as well as their aging parents, and women in their senior years being  \nmore at risk for Alzheimer’s disease.  \nDimensions of health. Past health research has failed to provide an adequate understanding of the many unique dimensions of women’s health. A comprehensive exploration of health incorporates physical, mental, social, intellectual, spiritual, occupational, and environmental dimensions of the lifespan stages. These dimensions incorporate the multifaceted elements of  \nCheryl A. Vamos is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Community and Family Health, University of South Florida, 13201 Bruce B.
