"The Status of Women in North Carolina: Health & Wellness" is the second in a series of four publications on women's status in North Carolina. Good health, access to health services, and the ability to live in a safe environment are critical to the economic security and overall well-being of North Carolina women. While poor health can negatively affect employment opportunities, educational attainment, and financial security, good health allows women to meet their economic and educational goals and flourish in the other areas of their lives. Multiple factors, including genetics, behavior, access to health care--including reproductive health care--access to healthy food, and quality and safe housing contribute to the health and wellness of women. This report provides information on the health, well-being, and reproductive rights of women in North Carolina, including differences by race and ethnicity and by county where data are available. "The Status of Women in North Carolina: Health & Wellness" analyzes data on women's health, including chronic disease, physical health, sexual health, access to reproductive health services, and experiences of sexual assault and intimate partner violence. The report identifies changes in women's health since the publication of the Institute for Women's Policy Research's (IWPR) 2013 "Status of Women in North Carolina" report and concludes with recommendations for policymakers, public health officials, advocates, and philanthropists.
