Background: Media outlets influence social attitudes toward health habits. The analysis of tweets has become a tool for health researchers.Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the distribution of tweets about women's health and the interest generated among Twitter users.Methods: We investigated tweets posted by 25 major U.S. media outlets about pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women's health between January 2009 and December 2019 as well as the retweets generated. In addition, we measured the sentiment analysis of these tweets as well as their potential dissemination.Results: A total of 376 tweets were analyzed. Pre-menopausal women's health accounted for most of the tweets (75.3%). Contraception was the main focus of the tweets, while a very limited number were related to infertility (1.4%). With regard to medical content, the effectiveness of contraceptive methods was the most frequent topic (46.2%). However, tweets related to side effects achieved the highest retweet-to-tweet ratio (70.3). The analysis of sentiments showed negative perceptions on tubal ligation.Conclusions: The U.S. media outlets analyzed are more interested in pre-menopausal than in post-menopausal women health and focused their content on contraception, while Twitter users showed greater interest in side effects.

For Indigenous women, gender intersects with cultural and racialized identities to create complex inequities in health and healthcare. The experience of Indigenous women within the Canadian healthcare context is explored using the Xpey’ Relational Environments Framework. Relational environments that shape Indigenous women’s wellness encompass human and non-human interactions, healthcare and community settings, and sociocultural contexts. By framing determinants of Indigenous women’s health in this way, the chapter demonstrates the layered complexity of risk as well as opportunities for healing. Indigenous women over the lifespan are shown to have a disproportionate burden of illnesses and comorbidities that are situated within the foundations of colonialism, racism, violence, and a range of socioeconomic inequities. Sources of strength and resilience that nurture the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness of Indigenous women are highlighted.
