Womens Health Needs in Birmingham

Women’s Health Needs in Birmingham (2024)Women’s Health Needs in Birmingham (2024). The Gender-related Health Inequalities programme aims to influence and support local actions to reduce health inequalities affecting women, men and non-binary populations in Birmingham. Beneath these inequalities lie many interconnected factors such as social determinants, risk behaviours, and gender norms around health-seeking.  There are also important intersectional factors, with certain subgroups of people being particularly disadvantaged – e.g. homeless people, sex workers or those in contact with the criminal justice system.The Women’s Health Needs in Birmingham (2024) report aims to highlight key health inequalities experienced by women in Birmingham. The research found that women's health in Birmingham faces a number of challenges spanning the need for greater prevention of premature mortality linked to lifestyle-related risk factors, specialist, intersectional approaches to mental health service provision, improvements in maternal care, and a multi-agency approach to reducing violence against women and girls. 17.7% more women under 75 died from cancer in Birmingham compared to England (OHID, 2022). Despite women in Birmingham experiencing high mortality rates from circulatory, respiratory, and cancer-related illnesses, screening for cancers such as breast and cervical cancer remains lower than national. Furthermore, cardiovascular disease (CVDs) disproportionately affects Birmingham's female population. The prevalence of obesity, especially among marginalized communities, exacerbates health inequalities, with socioeconomic status strongly linked to risk factors including low rates of physical activity and lower levels of health literacy.All the above highlight the growing need to develop a gender-based approach to reducing health inequalities in the city.For further details, please visit: https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/info/50342/public_health_reports/2946/gender_health_inequalities Viewing and downloadingThis dataset contains unstructured files such as documents, PDF's and images. To view and download the files click on the Table tab at the top and select the desired file in the File name column. You may use the filters to further refine your selection.Please note: The Export and API will only download the table of contents.

《伯明翰女性健康需求（2024）》报告揭示了伯明翰女性所面临的关键健康不平等现象。该报告旨在强调社会性别相关的健康不平等问题，并旨在影响和支持当地采取行动，以减少影响伯明翰地区女性、男性及非二元性别群体的健康不平等。这些不平等背后隐藏着众多相互关联的因素，例如社会决定因素、风险行为以及与健康寻求相关的性别规范。此外，某些人群的子群体，如无家可归者、性工作者或与刑事司法系统有接触的人，尤其处于不利地位。本报告旨在突出伯明翰女性所经历的主要健康不平等。研究结果显示，伯明翰女性的健康面临着诸多挑战，包括与生活方式相关风险因素相关的过早死亡预防、心理健康服务的专业化和交叉性方法、孕产妇护理的改善，以及针对女性和女孩暴力问题的多机构应对策略。与英格兰相比，伯明翰75岁以下的女性死于癌症的比例高出17.7%（OHID，2022年）。尽管伯明翰的女性在循环、呼吸和癌症相关疾病方面的死亡率较高，但乳腺癌和宫颈癌等癌症的筛查率仍低于全国平均水平。此外，心血管疾病（CVDs）对伯明翰的女性群体影响尤为严重。肥胖的普遍存在，特别是在边缘化社区中，加剧了健康不平等，社会经济地位与包括体力活动率低和健康素养水平低在内的风险因素密切相关。上述所有因素均凸显了在城市层面发展基于性别的减少健康不平等策略的日益迫切需求。如需了解更多详情，请访问：https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/info/50342/public_health_reports/2946/gender_health_inequalities。数据集包含非结构化文件，如文档、PDF和图像。要查看和下载文件，请点击顶部的“表格”标签，并在“文件名”列中选择所需的文件。您可以使用筛选器进一步细化选择。请注意：导出和API功能仅下载目录表。
