“…Identifying determinants of rural women's health explicitly acknowledges the unique needs, strengths, and contexts that affect rural women 33 . Rurality affects women's health in numerous and complex ways, and rural culture can exert far‐reaching and powerful influences in women's lives 5,6,8,16,33 . For example, rural Canadians have higher mortality and morbidity rates compared to their urban counterparts 23 .…”

“…The minimal literature about rural Canadian women's health reveals that rural women experience determinants of health, such as those related to employment, geography, and social environments, in ways that contribute to limited access to education, health, social support, and other resources 3–5 . Negative attitudes toward rural women's roles, lower social status, limited resources, and isolation contribute to women's poverty, violence against women, and mental health issues 6–9 ,. In rural and northern areas of Ontario, women have the lowest life expectancy in the province and they experience limited access to health care practitioners and services and stresses associated with isolation, violence, poverty, and limited power 10 .…”

Although health determinants affect both urban and rural people, this qualitative study revealed that rural women experience health determinants in unique ways and that rural residents may indeed have determinants of their health that are particular to them. More research is needed to explore the nature and effects of determinants of health for rural residents in general, and rural women in particular.

“…For example, the success of mobile health services among populations that experience barriers to access (Diaz-Perez Mde et al 2004, Zaluska et al 2005) may provide strategies to address women's restricted mobility arising from traditional gender roles and economic dependency on men (Bulut et al 1991, Kubik andMoore 2005).…”

This paper calls for an alternate approach to studying the aetiology of women's health conditions. Instead of the long-established disease-specific, compartmentalized approach, it recommends focusing on risk exposures that allows for the identification of multiple disease conditions that stem from the same risk factors. Identifying common risk factors and the related pathways to adverse health outcomes can lead to the development of interventions that would favourably affect more than one disease condition. The utility of such an approach is illustrated by a review of literature from across the globe on the association between gender inequity-related exposures and women's health (namely, three health conditions: sexually transmitted infections [STIs], including Human Immunodeficiency Virus [HIV], blindness, and depression; as well as two risk behaviours: eating disorders and tobacco use). The review demonstrates how women's health cannot be viewed independently from the larger social, economic, and political context in which women are situated. Promoting women's health necessitates more comprehensive approaches, such as gender-sensitization of other family members, and the development of more creative and flexible mechanisms of healthcare delivery, that acknowledge the gender inequity-related constraints that women face in their daily lives.
