Hi folks:
Given the difference sex and gender make in health and health care, I 
thought this would be a handy resource.

<../../../PDF/pwhce/gba.htm>Including Gender in Health Planning: A guide 
for regional health authorities
(PDF: 369k/25p)
Lissa Donner, 2003
Presents the background and history of gender-based analysis, and places 
emphasis on the value of understanding the health of a population 
considering both females and males. Provides checklists to assist health 
planner and decision-makers in considering women's and men's shared and 
differing needs. http://www.cewh-cesf.ca/PDF/pwhce/gba.pdf
there are many other interesting resources and reports related to health 
planning and needs that can be found through a search on the CWHN web site
