Pulse: The Status of Women & Girls in Greater Cincinnati

In 2003, more than 30 executives of nonprofit organizations in our region that serve women and girls expressed the need for good and relevant data on the status of women and girls in our area. Among the benefits would be increased awareness of issues affecting women and girls, more regional cooperation and more focused programs and services, and a stronger case for support of those programs and services.

Pulse involved women and girls in the eight-county Greater Cincinnati region. In Ohio - Hamilton, Warren, Butler, and Clermont counties; Kentucky – Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties; Indiana -- Dearborn County and 60 women leaders from around the region.

Research was directed by David Maume, Ph.D., director of UC’s Kunz Center for the Study of Work and Family, and a team of professionals from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Northern Kentucky University, and the University of Cincinnati.
