Abstract
Gender has long been recognized as an important determinant of health service usage, but gender is increasingly important in understanding how women and men experience and respond to health promotion programs and interventions and their outcomes. Gender frameworks are vital for understanding not just the differing effects of the determinants of health on either women or men (Doyal, 1995; Krieger, 2000), but also how health programs should respond in order to improve health outcomes for either women or men. Much needs to be done to improve the evidence base in health promotion with respect to gender.Keywords
