尽管医学知识取得了进步，但评论家一致认为，健康的最大收获将来自行为改变。女性必须改变追求健康的行为；在世界范围内，健康倡导者发现，尽管可以为妇女提供服务，但这并不能保证妇女使用这些服务。本文的目的是帮助作为妇女倡导者的研究人员了解原因。具体来说，我们提出了一种工具，可以帮助识别女性寻求健康的障碍和促进因素。与注重寻求健康的心理或个人促进因素的传统方法不同，我们使用一种将个人置于其社会文化背景中的方法。这种方法有助于我们区分妇女对医疗保健的实际需求和她们对性别平等的战略利益；在此过程中，我们提出了一种独特的女权主义方法来促进妇女健康。
Despite advances in medical knowledge, commentators agree that the greatest gains in health will come through behavioral change. Women must change their health-seeking behavior; worldwide, health advocates find that even though services may be provided for women, it does not guarantee that women use them. The purpose of this article is to help researchers, as women's advocates, understand why. Specifically, we present a tool that helps identify barriers to, as well as facilitators of, women's health seeking. Unlike conventional approaches that focus on psychological or personal facilitators of health seeking, we use a method that locates the individual within her sociocultural context. Such an approach helps us differentiate women's practical needs for health care from their strategic interest in gender equity; in doing so, we advance a distinctly feminist approach to women's health promotion.
