Discussions about Women's Social Health
Abstract
Microenterprise programs provide vulnerable populations, the majority of whom are women, access to educational and financial resources to start small businesses. Many international programs acknowledge the employment-health link and promote health as a form of collateral through primary and secondary prevention interventions. Health promotion is not as prevalent in United States (US) programs and further investigation is required to identify the health needs of women microentrepreneurs. The study was conducted in collaboration with a community development financial organization which provides credit and services to entrepreneurs who do not have access to traditional lending.
