SUMMARY:Closing the Loop for Lupus: A Wellness Toolkit for Women
DESCRIPTION:Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by widespread inflammation that often results in damage to the joints\, skin\, brain\, lungs\, kidneys and blood vessels. An estimated 1.5 million Americans have some form of lupus\, and 90% are women between the ages of 15 and 44. Lupus is more prevalent among women of color\, who also develop symptoms at younger ages and have more severe symptoms and complications from the disease.Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the most common type of lupus\, affecting multiple parts of the body\, and cutaneouslupus erythematosus (CLE) primarily affects theskin. Because the symptoms of lupus mimic other diseases\, a majority of patients are initially misdiagnosed\, and it can take up to 6 years and seeing multiplehealth care specialists before receiving an accurate diagnosis. Women living with lupus have a greater risk for developing other chronic conditions\, such as heart disease and osteoporosis\, or lupus nephritis due to kidney inflammation and damage. Although lupus does not affect fertility\, pregnant women should be aware of potential complications\, such as preeclampsia. \nThere is no cure for lupus\, and the limited treatments available primarily focus on reducing symptom flares\, resulting in insufficiently improved health outcomes.There is a pressing need to address gaps in research and clinical education\, and to develop policy solutions that will eliminate barriers to access for treatments and quality care for women. \nSWHR hosted a series of webinars to share educational information about the impact of lupus on women’s health.The events discussed how to improve health outcomes through recognizing and addressing symptoms\, comorbidities\, treatment options\, and barriers to accessing quality care\, while highlighting the diverse experiences of women living with lupus. \nThe SWHR Closing the Loop for Lupus series includes: \n\nClosing the Loop for Lupus in Women’s Health Care (June 15\, 2022)\nA Fireside Chat (October 17\, 2022)\nA Wellness Toolkit for Women (December 5\, 2022)\n\nFollow the conversation on Twitter at @SWHR and #SWHRtalksLupus. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Research!America Alliance Discussion with Carolee Lee\, CEO & Founder\, Women’s Health Access Matters (WHAM)
DESCRIPTION:If there was an additional $350 million invested in women’s health research nationally\, we would receive $13 billion in returns to our economy. This is one of many findings by WHAM\, Women’s Health Access Matters\, helping to catalyze a greater focus on diseases that disproportionately impact women. \nJoin Research!American for a discussion on Tuesday\, December 6\, at 2 p.m. ET featuring Carolee Lee\, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of WHAM. \nWhy is new investment in women’s health research a necessity and how can it benefit both public health and the economy? Join to find out. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Addressing Concerns and Considerations Surrounding the Inclusion of Pregnant and Lactating Populations in Research
DESCRIPTION:Pregnant and lactating women have historically been excluded from clinical trials. Federal policies from the 1970s that excluded “women of childbearing age” from research led research to use male participants\, limiting our knowledge base. Although a 1994 report from the Institute of Medicine recommended that pregnant women be presumed to be eligible to participate in clinical studies and that lactating women not be excluded from clinical studies\, concerns remain about including pregnant and lactating populations in research. \nDuring this virtual congressional briefing and national webinar\, panelists reviewed ethical considerations surrounding inclusion of pregnant and lactating women in research\, how to ensure the appropriate inclusion of these populations\, and the current state of this type of inclusion in research\, both within the federal government and the corporate sector. \n  \n\nFollow the conversation on Twitter at @SWHR. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \n  \n\nThis event is part of a series about the inclusion of pregnant and lactating peoples in research. The full series includes: \n\nAddressing Concerns and Considerations Surrounding the Inclusion of Pregnant and Lactating Populations in Research (December 6\, 2022)\nPregnant and Lactating Populations in Research: How Leaving These Populations Out Leaves Them Behind (January 26\, 2023)\nPRGLAC Then and Now: Where We Are and Where We’re Going (February 14\, 2023)

SUMMARY:Engaging Historically Underrepresented Members of the African American/Black Communities in Clinical Trials
DESCRIPTION:Developing strategies to engage clinical trial participation in underrepresented groups will require a thorough understanding of past challenges\, current attitudes\, and future implications. Almost 50 years after the unethical research practices in the Tuskegee Syphilis study caused public outrage\, remnants of mistrust among African American/Black communities continue to impact confidence in clinical trials. Despite decades of reforms aimed at establishing basic research standards and protecting the rights of trial participants\, African American/Black communities remain underrepresented in clinical trials. In a 2020 FDA report on clinical trials resulting in 53 novel drug approvals\, African Americans represented only 8% of U.S. clinical trial participants despite comprising 13% of the U.S. population. Across therapeutic areas\, the gap between the disease population and trial representation widens. For example\, in multiple myeloma (MM) oncology trials\, a disease in which Black Americans account for approximately 20% of annual cases\, the median percentage of Black Americans enrolled across 21 pivotal trials was just 4.5%. Strategies for proportional clinical trial representation must address cultural barriers to enrollment and improve upon outdated recruitment and retention practices. Increasing African American/Black participation in clinical trials ensures that treatments are adequately tested in populations to whom it will be marketed. Increased diversity in clinical trial populations can also yield racial and ethnic differences in disease progression and drug response across demographic groups. \nBy convening many of the country’s leading clinical trial and diversity experts\, physicians\, scholars\, authors\, and key opinion leaders\, this program will provide best practices\, new insights\, and novel trends in building a more diverse and inclusive clinical trial ecosystem in the U.S. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Are You There Doctor? It’s Me Menopause
DESCRIPTION:Are You There Doctor? It’s Me Menopause: How to Talk (and Ask Questions) to Get the Perimenopause/Menopause Care You Need  \nMost medical providers still don’t know enough about perimenopause and menopause. This isn’t surprising when considering that 80 percent of ob-gyns (ob-gyns!) lack menopause training. So\, when women seek medical treatment for significant menopausal symptoms\, nearly three-fourths are left untreated. \nThis means women often have no choice but to grab the reins of their own menopause health. There are few better doctors to give us a head start than Dr. Robin Noble\, a practicing gynecologist for over 20 years with a specialty in menopause. Dr. Noble will give tips for how to find a doctor that does know a lot about menopause\, what questions to ask\, what concerns to raise\, what tests to request\, and how to talk with your doctor about the possible treatments (hormonal and nonhormonal). The webinar will also share some materials to take with to the doctor. \nDr. Noble also will leave plenty of time for questions on this and other midlife-health-related topics. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Who's Caring? Family Care in America
DESCRIPTION:Join POLITICO virtually on Thursday\, December 15\, 2022 at 9:00 AM ET to explore how federal action can improve the lives of those giving and receiving family care across America. \nFamily caregivers are among the most overlooked and under-supported groups. America’s 48 million carers together provide more than $470 billion in unpaid care annually\, while individually facing thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses. \nThe Administration’s new national strategy for supporting family caregivers outlines nearly 350 actions the federal government is committed to taking to support family caregivers. Who will deliver this strategy? How should different stakeholders divide the work? And what are the most urgent priorities for this issue that crosses party lines? \nFeatured speakers to be announced. \nREGISTER
