Monday, November 2, 2009 - A recent survey shows that 70 percent of women report having experienced a sexual health issue, of which 22 percent felt very or extremely concerned.
SEX AND A HEALTHIER YOU!
The survey also find that many women claim that they would be comfortable talking to a health care provider about a sexual health issue, but less than one-fifth (18%) actually visited their health care provider when they experienced one. The survey, commissioned by the National Women’s Health Resource Center (NWHRC) and the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals (ARHP), was designed to explore women’s attitudes and behaviors regarding their sexual health.
To help women learn more about healthy female sexuality and to encourage them to talk about issues that they may have, NWHRC and ARHP have joined forces with support from Bo ehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to develop a new educational campaign titled “Sex and a Healthier You.”
The campaign seeks to provide accurate information and advance positive sexual health messages by raising awareness about sexual function as a natural and valued aspect of women’s lives. Additionally, the program aims to increase the level of meaningful and effective communication between women and their health care providers and between women and their partners.
