There is a huge gap in knowledge about women’s health.
Until about 25 years ago, essentially all health research was conducted on men. Women were actively excluded from participating in most clinical trials. SWHR is addressing unmet needs and research gaps in women’s health created by this historical bias in research and medicine.

Both sex and gender influence health across the lifespan, and SWHR strives to comprehensively address both sex and gender as they relate to women’s health. When citing research, SWHR uses terminology consistent with what is used in the cited study. As inclusive language practices continue to evolve in the scientific and medical communities, we will reassess our language as usage to promote accuracy and inclusivity. Please note that not all language will be updated retroactively.
SWHR acknowledges that there are valued groups of people that may benefit from our materials who do not identify as women. We encourage those who identify differently to engage with us and our content.
