The Building Awareness of Gender Differences that are Important to Healthcare and Research Studies videos were created as part of a grant to The Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library from the National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health.

The videos are intended for use by researchers, course instructors and students. The hope is that awareness of gender issues specific to each community and across communities will improve the ways in which researchers and healthcare providers collaborate with diverse communities throughout the research and healthcare process.

The Community Faces of Utah (CFU) agreed to be a partner in this project, sharing the perspectives of each community as part of the effort to educate researchers and healthcare providers. CFU community leaders recruited women and men from each of the their communities for the video interviews.
