 AB    To assess the ways in which social work is addressing issues in women's
       health care, the profession's journals from 1985-1992 were searched,
       yielding 36 articles. Over half addressed issues of reproduction and
       sexuality including pregnancy, family planning, abortion, substance
       abuse in pregnancy, and fetal protection policies. Remaining articles
       addressed medical diagnoses; including AIDS/HIV/STDs, cancer, illnesses
       associated with aging, PMS, Turner's Syndrome, and chronic fatigue
       syndrome. Foci, methodologies, and recommendations are discussed and the
       authors critically analyze the articles' reflections of the status of
       women's health as a social work concern.
