transferable. German GPs have no extra time or funding for research, as well as
limited research training. To support clinical research in German primary health

Investigating women’s health issues and help-seeking intentions in primary care in Japan: a cross-sectional studySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 23 - Trang 1-10 - 2022
Keiichiro Narumoto, Kei Miyazaki, Machiko Inoue, Makoto Kaneko, Tadao Okada, Motoi Sugimura

address and adequately handle women’s health issues. Hence, opportunities for
women to consult PCPs about women’s health issues are often limited during busy
outpatient encounters. It is essential to explore PCP’s roles in women’s health
