Research into Women's Health is conducted across many different departments within the University of Oxford. Women's Health research encompasses research into the experiences of women* across the life course.
Women's Health research investigates experiences and conditions that affect women differently from men (such as cardiovascular disease or certain cancers), disproportionately (such as auto-immune diseases or mental health conditions), or exclusively (such as menstruation, pregnancy, or gynaecological cancers).
The ORA Women's Health Collection brings together the many research outputs created by members of the University of Oxford including journal papers, conference papers, preprints, datasets and more. ORA holds full text documents and provides links to related Women's Health research information and activities.
If you are a member of the University of Oxford and cannot see your Women's Health research related output here, then deposit your accepted manuscript or dataset to ORA.
* This collection defines women as all those biologically female, including cis-gender women, non-binary people and trans-gender men.
