hi expsi in the field of
menis health carne together on
lnday evening to bring attention to
problem plaguing American
men - the lack of research in
men' s health.
lhe audience of about 60, consist-
mostly of professors and gradu-
students, sat attentively in
ham Auditorium as speakers
sed the difficulties of studying
men's health. The public event
s titled "Future Challenges in
men's Health - Three

te Psychology professor who

t research regarding women's

Nolen-Hoeksema said that
iougih it has been established that
men are more prone to being
>ressed than men, the question, no
earch has explained the discrep-
:y. A "desperate need for hard-
e research" is apparent, she said.

Suspect captured Monday
Cynthia Myntti, former co-director at the Center on Women and Policy at the
University of Minnesota, spoke on women's health at Rackham Auditorium Monday.
Nolen-Hoeksema recommended
that undergraduate students interest-
ed in health issues get a broad edu-
cation in which they explore more
than one subject area. Because
undergraduate students often specify
their interests early on, women's
health is usually ignored, she said.
"It's too bad that undergrads are
narrowly focused early in their
careers," Nolen-loeksema said.
"Science needs people to be more
broadly based."

quences of disease are not the same

She stressed the importance of.
doc'umenting and understanding rea-
sons for gender differences and their
relationship to diseases that affect
both sexes, but have only been stud-
ied in men.
Cynthia Myntti, an international
health researcher from the Unisersity
of Minnesota, said that research agen-
das may not serse wsomen's needs
because the right questions are often
missed. Instead, research questions
and answers seem "obs ious."
Myntti said she sees a "i ide-open
future for people who are interested
in women's health." Due to an
increase in funding. women's-heaith
researchers are able to question
often-overlooked topics that are spe-
cific to women, she said.
"Women are one-half oftthe popu-
lation of this town, state, world and
their health affects productivity, eco-
nomic growth, and quality of life,"
Myntti said.
A second women's-health event will
be held tonight in the Michigan League
Ballroom at 7 p.m. The event includes a
keynote address and presentations of
graduate students' research.
