To get started, take this quiz www.yourdiseaserisk.wustl.edu and assess your disease risk! Click the 'Start Here' option, and proceed. Once you get your results of risk, if there is anything Above Average, please continue the quiz by selecting that type of disease, for a deeper investigation. If there is nothing 'Above Average,' select an 'Average' risk.

Now, research the disease type and how women are affected. Using AT LEAST 2 outside resources, give an in-depth overview of women's preventive measures for the disease you're investigating.
