The topic for 2006 is women and cardio-vascular disease.     "The Impact of an Empowerment Model on Palestinian and Israeli Women Coping with Breast Cancer: Survey Results and Evaluation." This is the final report on Project COPE – a joint effort of IAAWH, JDC-Israel, The Israel Cancer Society, and Patients Friends Society - Jerusalem.   Project COPE has brought together Israeli and Palestinian women diagnosed with breast cancer as well as health professionals in the field in order to share experiences, exchange information and develop joint activities that promote empowerment and enhance the coping process. Specific objectives have included increasing accessibility to information, improving doctor-patient communication and developing social support mechanisms that are culturally sensitive.   Aside from concrete outcomes of this project, perhaps one of its most important contributions is the bridge built between the two groups of women. For both Israelis and Palestinians, the breast cancer experience has acted as powerful equalizing force in overcoming cultural and other barriers to communication.   To receive a copy of the final report on this project, please contact us.             "Active Birth: A Guide to Natural Childbirth." IAAWH helped produce a translation into Hebrew of the very popular book by Janet Balaskas, the internationally known author who coined the term "active birth" and established both the Movement for Active Birth and the Center for Active Birth in London.  The book introduces the Hebrew-speaking reader to new possibilities in childbirth and to information and tools for achieving these possibilities.   Book & Membership: 100 NIS Book (alone):               75 NIS   To receive a copy of the book, send check to: 33 Pierre Koenig St. Jerusalem, Israel
