| Abstract | Revised and updated to keep pace with changing issues that affect all women, the new Ninth Edition of the best-selling New Dimensions in Women's Health continues to provide a modern look at the health of women of all cultures, races, ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and sexual orientations. Written for undergraduate students within health education, nursing, and women's studies programs, the text provides readers with the critical information needed to optimize their well-being, avoid illness and injury, and support their overall health. The authors took great care to provide in-depth coverage of important aspects of women's health and to examine the contributing epidemiological, historical, psychosocial, cultural, ethical, legal, political, and economic influences. The Ninth Edition includes: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on many aspects of women's health, from the workplace to violence, substance abuse and more; updates related to the Affordable Care Act and post-Medicaid expansion; new information on diet and nutrition trends; the Dobbs decision and its impact on women's health; updated information on mental illness disorder classification and mental illness resources; new content on substance abuse trends along with cannabis and other legalization efforts; and updated violence data to reflect intimate partner violence in domestic partnerships and LGBTQ relationships, among others. |
