The second part outlines background issues on which decisions need to be made: what constitutes policy-relevant research, and the targeting of policy sites.

"In response to widespread interest in the health issues of rural, remote and northern populations in Canada, calls for more systematic and applied rural health research and the virtual invisibility of gender analysis in current rural health policy and research, the Centres of Excellence for Women's Health (CEWH) developed a national study entitled Rural and Remote and Northern Women's Health: Policy and Research Directions. Its purpose was to combine the knowledge of women living in rural and remote areas of Canada with that of community organizations and researchers to develop a policy framework and research agenda on rural and remote women's health in Canada. The results of the study reported here reflect investment in a highly consultative process to produce clear, achievable goals for change, based on the knowledge of women who have built their lives in rural, remote and northern Canada."--Background.
