Development of a Health Promotion Inventory for Poor Rural Women
This article describes the development of a first-generation inventory tool to assess the health and health promotion behaviors of poor, rural women in Alabama. Women in southern rural regions are especially vulnerable, bearing and raising children in single-parent households. It is unlikely that this region will ever have adequate health care resources. Thus, it is imperative that rural dwellers be self-sufficient, yet have available to them a c…

Participants had used only one or two contraceptive methods throughout their co…

Socioeconomic class was determined using Hollingshead's Four-Factor Index of Social Status (1975) and was based on the woman's own educational and occupational status. The mean socioeconomic score for participants in this study (N = 83) was high in the second of five socioeconomic classes.…
