Promoting Military Women's Health Policy Development through the Lens of the Social Ecological Model for Military Women's Health.

Abstract

The goal of this supplemental issue of Women's Health Issues is to present the evidence on seven topics that are pertinent to the health of active duty military women (unplanned pregnancy, cervical cancer, sexually transmitted infections, adjustment disorders, obstetrics, breastfeeding, and sleep) as revealed by scoping review methods. The findings of each scoping review were synthesized within the framework of a social ecological model for military women's health (SEM-MWH), which allowed the authors to identify potential areas of research and local, organizational, or national policies that could improve the health of military women.
