This study compares the health status, preventive behaviour and risk factors of female nurses with those of other employed postsecondary-educated women.  Cross-sectional data from the 2003 Canadian Community Health Survey were analyzed. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to adjust for potential confounding by demographic and socio-economic characteristics.
