Women's Health : Research on Gender, Behavior, and Policy

Abstract

In this article we briefly review data on the poor state of Black women's health and then analyze the nature of research on their health in health psychology and behavioral medicine. We demonstrate that health psychology and behavioral medicine not only exclude Black women as participants in empirical studies, but also fail to thoroughly investigate the problems that are most prevalent among and accountable for the poor health of Black women. We conclude that this special issue devoted to Black women's health is crucial and long overdue.
