Abstract

The purpose of the study was to examine the differences of reproductive aged people’s health behaviour in respect of gender, area (rural and urban), type of health facilities (public, private, chemist, untrained practitioner) and income. The health status of the majority of women was not found to be sound and also, they were not sufficiently involved in the decision-making process. Social imbalances and harmful traditional practices play a dominant role affecting the health and life, both rural and urban women. These problems can be solved up to some extent by educating and providing employment to women and this would also break the vicious circle of the overall low status of women in family as well as in society. The present study is based on determinant of women health status of Chandbali and Tihidi blocks in Bhadrak district. This district is economically and educational developed but it’s very poor in health status and also women health is not so impressive. Women are not conscious about their health and they are completely neglected by the family. As it is tribal dominated area, women are denied for proper health care facilities in the study area.
