Description:
The Center for Research and Education in Women's Health (CREWH) was established at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1997 to promote the health of women of all ages. CREWH is innovative in focusing on the prevention rather than the treatment of disease. It breaks ground too in the range of disciplines it unites: the many UMass schools and departments it draws on include Public Health, Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Exercise Science, Nutrition, Anthropology, Women's Studies and Nursing.
