I am writing this note as an introduction to the health promotion listserv and as a hope for further information. My name is Hazel Buchanan and I am a Canadian from Ottawa who is presently studying at the University of Nottingham in England. I am in the process of completing an MA in Social Policy and Administration. Presently I am working on my dissertation which is on Health Promotion for aging women specifically in the areas of nutrition, physical activity and social activity. Also, I hope to provide a comparison of policy efforts in this direction within Ontario and Britain. This is proving to be a very interesting project and an area which can use further consideration and research. (I believe there is a journal Women and Aging which would prove most beneficial but to which I don't have access). I would appreciate any feedback or discussion in this area or any suggestions for reference material. Of course, I am also enjoying the benefits of other discussions on this listserv. Thanking you in advance for your consideration in this matter. I look forward to future contact. Hazel [log in to unmask]
