Because of the magnitude of women's health issues within the larger context of public health and healthcare systems, this paper was written to help define the current status of women's health in Wisconsin. Utilizing critical women's health areas identified by the Wisconsin Women's Health Foundation and the Wisconsin Division of Public Health, 16 specific measures of women's health were chosen for this analysis. The most recent data available for each measure were collected with Wisconsin data being compared to national averages as well as to Healthy People 2010: Objectives for Improving Health targets. Wisconsin women fare better than national averages in nine of the selected health measures; however, there are still many improvements to be made in order to meet Healthy People 2010 targets. The areas where the most improvements are needed include binge drinking, tobacco use, diabetes, and stroke mortality. Other significant findings include the lack of uniformly collected data in the areas of domestic violence, osteoporosis, and mental illness.
鉴于在公共卫生和医疗保健系统的大背景下，女性健康问题的重要性，撰写本文旨在帮助明确威斯康星州女性健康的现状。利用威斯康星州女性健康基金会和威斯康星州公共卫生部确定的关键女性健康领域，选择了16项女性健康的具体指标进行此项分析。收集了每项指标的最新可用数据，并将威斯康星州的数据与全国平均水平以及《健康人民2010：增进健康目标》进行了比较。在所选的9项健康指标中，威斯康星州女性的表现优于全国平均水平；然而，为了实现《健康人民2010》的目标，仍有许多方面需要改进。最需要改进的领域包括酗酒、吸烟、糖尿病和中风死亡率。其他重要发现包括在家庭暴力、骨质疏松症和精神疾病领域缺乏统一收集的数据。
