A cultural and contextual analysis of health concepts and needs of women in a rural district of Nepal.

CONCLUSIONS: Overall, participants' perceived health as not just about themselves but their families and communities. Socially as well as culturally determined gender roles influenced the health concepts and needs of the women. This study's findings can be used to guide public health leaders in priority-setting and in determining strategies for women's health promotion in rural districts of Nepal and other similar cultures.
