You are invited to contribute to an exciting new venture in women's
health research. We are producing a handbook that will help
researchers to partner with others in the community, universities,
and health services to facilitate research on women's health. The
handbook will build on the document General Guidelines for Health
Promotion Research Proposals, produced by the Atlantic Health
Promotion Research Centre in 1995.

different people and in different contexts, with special reference to
social diversity and social marginalization.

people;
