Abstract
There are many different gender issues involved in health care. This Scope Note provides a broad overview of the ways in which the health care and bioethical literature have reported and looked at gender issues, although emphasis is placed on the quality of medical treatment and biomedical research. It does not encompass the literature on caring or the ethics of care, nor does it address the large body of feminist theory and philosophical literature on ethics and medicine. Literature available through December 1994 is represented in this Scope Note.
