Printer-friendly version

This chapter of the POWER Report examines indicators of prevalence; comorbidity; health and functional status; health behaviours; access to care; monitoring of and screening for diabetes control and complications; medication use; hospital admissions for diabetes complications; prenatal care for women with and without diabetes. They examine how these indicators differ among women and men and by socio-demographic characteristics and region.

The POWER Study is producing a Women's Health Report to serve as an evidence-based tool for policy makers, providers, and consumers in their efforts to improve health and reduce health inequities among Ontario women.
