     Hello.  I'm a doctoral student in Sociology at Michigan State 
     University; major:  Health and Well Being.  Research emphasis:  
     perceived barriers to health care by women in prostitution.
     
     I'm looking for comments and information about:
     
        - Health Belief Model, including Bandura's self-efficacy concept.   
          If socio-structural issues are included, is the "perceived        
          barriers" component a reasonable framework to use for a           
          qualitative study/survey or women in prostitution?
     
        - comments about the medical construction of gender
     
        - comments about medicalization of women's bodies
     
        - critiques of Ehrenreich and English's "For Her Own Good:  150     
          Years of Experts' Advice to Women" and on Doyal's "What Makes     
          Women Sick?"
     
        - comments and critiques about what's right and what's wrong with   
          prostitution 
     
     Thanks.
