The public event s titled "Future Challenges in men's Health - Three spectives." iusan Nolen-Hoeksema, an asso- te Psychology professor who dies depression in women, said t research regarding women's lith is overlooked by mainstream Ochers. search (of women's health) esn't keep up," Nolen-Hoeksema d. "It either doesn't exist or it's lly contradictory." 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. Woman abducted from Med. Center 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." Stanford University Health Research and Policy Prof. Jennifer Kelsey said the causes and conse- quences of disease are not the same for men and women 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.
