The influence of spatial aspects on people’s health is internationally proven by a wealth of empirical findings. Nevertheless, questions concerning public health still tend to be negotiated among social and health scientists. This was different in the elaboration of the Austrian Action Plan on Women’s Health (AAPWH). On the example of the target group of older women, it is shown whether and to what extent the inclusion of the spatial planning perspective in the discussion of impact goals and measures is reflected in the respective inter-ministerial policy paper. The retrospective analysis on the basis of a document analysis of the AAPWH and qualitative interviews with public health experts who were also invited to join, or rather were part of, the expert group, brings to light the following key reasons for the high degree of spatial-related abstraction of the content of this strategic health policy paper: the requirement for general formulations, the lack of public and political awareness for the different living situations in different spatial archetypes, and the lack of external perception of spatial planning as a key discipline with regard to the creation of equivalent living conditions. Nonetheless, this research has promoted the external perception of spatial planning as a relevant discipline in public health issues in Austria. Furthermore, first thematic starting points for an in-depth interdisciplinary dialogue were identified.

In this first chapter, we trace the historical roots of nursing research and scholarship focused on protecting and promoting women’s health. Beginning with Florence Nightingale, modern nursing’s first researcher, who focused on the health impact of women’s daily lives through her detailed observations of human behavior. More recently, nursing’s contributions to women’s health over the past 30 years have redefined women’s health, proposed new frameworks for understanding women’s health; provided reviews of the women’s health literature across disciplines; developed communities of nurse scholars and researchers focused on new areas of women’s health research; generated and expanded the knowledge base for women’s health practice and education; promoted a global view of women’s health; and proposed new models for women’s health care delivery. Clearly, a community of nursing scholars, developed over the past 25 years, has contributed to advancing women’s health knowledge and improving the health and well-being of women. Without the benefit of a crystal ball, we suggest that nursing will continue to provide leadership in the conduct and the application of research to improve women’s health and women’s lives.

The paper examines the health implications of gambling for women living in the Western Metropolitan Region of Melbourne. The research is unique in that it focuses on the health impact of gambling for women from different cultures and age groups within one regional setting. It seeks to explore how women view gambling in their lives and to develop and evaluate strategies to assist women and health agencies to reduce the negative impacts of gambling on women's health. The paper focuses on the findings of the study to date and the methodological and political difficulties involved in researching a sensitive women's health issue.
