Abstract
Twelve themes arose during the conference which, when presented to the group in a summary session, were greeted by general consensus and approval. These themes fall into four categories: women and health care; women and other life choices; women and men; and women and political action. Additional concerns that were not included in the 1‐day conference are outlined, including a discussion of: (1) respect for the reproductive roles of women, the three ‘I's’, and other reproductive health issues; (2) a 7‐stage approach to women's nutrition; (3) the supervisory role of the health care provider versus a role as a creator of self‐efficacy; (4) the cost of breastfeeding; and (5) the impact on the environment. Conclusions and next actions also are presented for consideration.Keywords
