Systematic Review of the Literature on Military Women's Health, 2000-2010.

PB2015105601

Publication Date	2015
Page Count	171
Abstract	Military Women’s Health Research Interest Group (MWHRIG) researchers argued in 2010 that the current state of operationally relevant medical knowledge specific to women serving in the military was woefully inadequate. In particular, the lack of empirically based information, derived through rigorous scientific research,compromised essential preventive medicine and interventions to improve military women’s health, safety, and performance.1 The MWHRIG Core Leaders led a multi-year research effort designed to advance the science of military women’s health, with funding provided by the Tri-Service Nursing Research Program (TSNRP). The primary objectives were to conduct a comprehensive search and systematic review to identify all relevant peer-reviewed research articles published between 2000 and 2010; to examine how Military Health System (MHS) health care utilization data aligned with the relevant research; and to use these results to identify gaps in knowledge and research about military women’s health issues. Findings from this multi-faceted research effort provide the foundation for the MWHRIG to develop a military women’s health research agenda.
