Reviewers describe this resource booklet as an extremely helpful, "very clear and informative" tool for women. It accurately addresses "women specific issues," such as differences in medication side effects, participation in clinical trials, changes in menstruation, gynecological concerns and pregnancy. The reviewers recommend bringing this "resource to the physician's office as a way to gather and understand information during the visit." Reviewers noted that this resource is "very long, but the separate sections and glossary make it very easy to pick up and re-read." Reviewers recommend distribution of this booklet by physicians and nurses.
