------------------------------------------------
The Reproductive Health Outlook (RHO) website has been updated! Visit
RHO at:
http://www.rho.org
RHO provides summaries of up-to-date information, syntheses of key ref-
erences and resources, and links to the best in-depth reproductive
health information on the Internet. RHO is especially designed for re-
productive health program managers and decision-makers working in low-
resource settings.
RHO is pleased to announce the addition of a new Information Summary on
Men and Reproductive Health. This section explores men's influence on
women's and children's health, the impact of gender role expectations
on men's health, men's attitudes toward family planning, and other top-
ics relevant to men and reproductive health. Like each of RHO's Infor-
mation Summaries, this section provides research topics, program exam-
ples, an extensive annotated bibliography, and links to the best in-
depth information on the Internet. Please visit the new section at:
