Description:	The idea for Gender and Health began with our participation in the Society and Health Working Group of the Health Institute at New England Medical Center and the Department of Health and Social Behavior at the Harvard School of Public Health. Our colleagues in this group encouraged us to explore and explain the complex dynamics between gender and health. The task of the cross-disciplinary faculty seminar (organized by Sol Levine and Al Tarlov) was to integrate the relevant concepts and findings from various disciplines to enhance and deepen the understanding of the social determinants of population health (Amick, Levine, Tarlov, & Walsh, 1995). We chose to write this book to encourage biomedical researchers and social scientists to think and work together in new ways to explore the connections between the physiological mechanisms and social processes that make the health of men and women so different.
