a 27 ~ Friday, April 20, 1990 - North Shore News Become health care smart WOULD MOST women buy a car or a computer or clothes or grocer- ies without shopping around? Probably not. Yet, most women undergo ma- jor medical treatment based on one practitioner's opinion. Skills used to make decisions in the marketplace can be transferred to the health care domain. North Shore Continuing Education is of- fering a program entitled Women As Health Care Consumers to help women to sharpen and to share their consumer capabilities in the health care system. Participants will discuss: com- munication skills, practical ways to select and visit practitioners, where to find and understand reliable in- formation, second opinions, common procedures for women and individual prevention strategies. The course will be held on Monday, April 23 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at Carson Graham Secondary School, 2145 Jones Ave., North Vancouver. The instructor is Robin Barnett who has been active in women’s health issues for almost 10 years. She is the co-author of A Feminist Approach to Pap Tests. She has also done research and developed materials and programs about the sexually-transmitted diseases in- cluding AIDS, gynecological con- cerns, hysterectomy and general self-help issues.
