opportunities for surveillance and epidemiologic assessment of diabetes 
and related complications; and for the purpose of assuring the most 
effective use and organization of resources, maintains liaison and 
coordination of programs within the Federal, voluntary, and private 
sectors involved in the provision of services to people with diabetes.
    Matters to Be Discussed: The Diabetes and Women's Health
    Monograph. This is a publication which will take an analytical and 
public health perspective on diabetes among women in the United States. 
Through separate chapters devoted to specific stages of the life cycle 
of the woman(adolescence, childbearing age, middle age, and older age) 
the following topics will be covered: demographic information; 
epidemiologic analysis; the influence of psycho-social, cultural, 
behavioral, and socioeconomic factors on susceptibility to the disease 
or its many complications; cost concerns for patients and the public; 
assessment of gaps for patient, family, health care provider, and 
community in knowledge and care; and a discussion of public health 
considerations. A final chapter will consolidate the findings with 
recommendations for directing appropriate research and for developing 
effective programs and interventions. This meeting will focus on the 
reproductive and elderly years of women. A draft agenda is attached.
    Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate.
