Abstract:
|
Representation is a fundamental element of a health democracy. This paper examines the role of both legislative and bureaucratic representation in supporting a health citizenry. Specifically, this study argues that women are able to represent women in state legislatures as well as through their role in state health bureaucracies. This representation should result in positive health outcomes for those suffering or at risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea. Findings indicate that an increase in female legislators in associated with an increase in female bureaucrats in managerial positions. Women managers in health bureaucracies are, in turn associated with an increase in the percent of females in professional positions in these state level bureaucracies. Finally, increased percentages of women in both managerial and professional positions are associated with improved gonorrhea rates. |
