Academic institution can take an active role in disease prevention for women by offering a women studies class that deals with the cause of diseases that affects women. They can provide lecture and seminars for students to inform women about the health concern and ways to prevent these illnesses. A health fair is a good example of informing the students and the public. The institution can work together with hospitals or clinics to provide free or discount health screenings for women and also provide them with brochures or handouts to raise awareness about diseases affecting women. If the institution has a news paper they can develop a column targeting women about diseases that can affects them, provide prevention tips and locations and contact information of providers that specializes in that disease. These are some of the ways that an institution can educate women and students on campus.

  1. Your healthfair idea is great! Especially if free screening is involved. That would be a great way to bring awareness to different diseases women are suceptible to at different ages.
    Great idea and that seems like a good possibility for a school project:)!
