POWER Study: Project for an Ontario Women's Health Evidence-Based Report
The POWER Study (Project for an Ontario Women's Health Evidence-Based Report), a multi-year project funded by Echo: Improving Women's Health in Ontario, an agency of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC), is producing a comprehensive provincial report on women's health.
We are examining gender differences on a comprehensive set of evidence-based indicators as well as differences among women associated with socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and geography. We emphasize indicators that are modifiable and can support efforts to link measures to intervention and improvement.
The Report is designed to serve as an evidence-based tool to help policy makers, providers, and consumers improve the health of and reduce inequities among the women of Ontario. Educators can also use our report to teach about women's health, health inequities, population health, and health system performance.
