SUMMARY:A Conversation on the Elevation of Sex and Gender in Publishing Academic Research
DESCRIPTION:According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research on Women’s Health\, “A growing body of health research demonstrates how sex differences can influence a person’s vulnerability to disease\, experience of symptoms\, and response to treatment.” Accounting for these factors can be critical for ensuring equity in health research; equipping our nation with the capacity to provide personalized\, evidence-based medical care; and improving our understanding of the factors affecting women’s health across the lifespan. Yet\, a historical and systemic lack of female representation in all stages of research has resulted in gaps in medical knowledge and left women vulnerable. \nIn 2016\, the NIH implemented its Policy on Sex as a Biological Variable (SABV)\, which outlined NIH’s expectation that SABV will be factored into research designs\, analyses\, and reporting in vertebrate animal and human studies. While this policy marked an important step forward at the NIH\, reporting on SABV is not comprehensively incorporated within the broader research enterprise\, including in academic publishing. \nDuring this special web event\, the Society for Women’s Health Research brings together representatives from academic journals for a conversation about what they are doing to elevate the importance of sex differences research and how the journals are approaching policies related to reporting on sex and gender in research studies. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Putting Our Heads Together: Diagnostic Innovations for Alzheimer’s Disease
DESCRIPTION:Diagnostic tests and procedures offer opportunities to detect diseases\, monitor disease progression\, guide treatments\, and evaluate treatment effectiveness. Some diagnostic tests are invasive\, such as a biopsy or endoscopy; whereas others are noninvasive\, such as x-rays and ultrasound imaging procedures. \nInnovations in diagnostics provide access to health information\, helping women make informed decisions about their health care at every stage of their lives. Screening and diagnostic testing can lead to earlier detection of disease\, improve health outcomes\, and contribute toward reducing health disparities among women. Research seeking to expand the development and availability of diagnostic tools for conditions that exclusively\, differently\, or disproportionately affect women is invaluable in furthering women’s health across sectors. \nSWHR is hosting a series of public forums to share educational information about the importance and value of innovative diagnostics throughout the lifespan and across disease states and conditions. The events will discuss how to improve health outcomes for diseases and conditions that disproportionately or differently affect women\, with special a focus on cancer and healthy aging. \n  \nThe 2023 SWHR Value of Diagnostics within Women’s Health series includes: \n\nTaking it to Heart: Addressing Cardiovascular Disease in Women (February\, 13\, 2023)\nPutting our Heads Together: Diagnostic Innovations for Alzheimer’s Disease (June 6\, 2023)\nClearing the Air About Lung Cancer in Women (November 17\, 2023)\n\n  \nFollow the conversation on Twitter at @SWHR and #SWHRtalksDiagnostics. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Heart Disease and Birth Control: What You Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:For women with heart disease\, contraceptive and pregnancy planning are essential to optimize your health. Deciding the type of birth control to use involves careful consideration of a variety of factors\, including the contraceptive’s safety\, effectiveness\, and importantly\, your preference. In some cases\, women with heart disease or associated risk factors are advised against certain types of birth control\, such as those containing estrogen. Others may be advised against becoming pregnant because the health risks are too high. Join this webinar hosted by WomenHeart to hear a discussion of what women with heart disease need to know when it comes to choosing birth control. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Shortchanged: The Impact of Chronic Underinvestment in Public Health
DESCRIPTION:Policymakers are asking: With the United States spending far more on healthcare compared to other high-income nations\, why does our nation still yield substantially worse health outcomes and what funding and policy actions must we take to see better results? \nTo shed light on that important question\, Trust for America’s Health (TFAH) and the Coalition for Health Funding (CHF) are gathering experts in public health policy and funding on June 20th to discuss the critical need for increased\, sustainable\, and flexible funding that specifically targets public health and prevention. The discussion will focus on how to address the longstanding gaps in public health capacity resulting from chronic underfunding. \nThe webinar will include findings and recommendations from TFAH’s The Impact of Chronic Underfunding on America’s Public Health System: Trends\, Risks\, and Recommendations 2023 report to be released on June 14. Please register to listen to the discussion. \n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:"Fail First" Fails Patients
DESCRIPTION:Join BIO\, June 21 from 9 – 10 a.m. ET for their Patient Advocacy Coffee Chat on Step Therapy: “Fail First” Fails Patients. When providers decide on the best course of treatment for their patients\, patients should not have to jump through endless hoops to get that treatment. However\, often\, patients are forced to first fail on one or more therapies before they can access the medicine they were originally prescribed. Delaying access to the right therapy can lead to adverse health outcomes and even costlier interventions\, such as surgeries and hospitalizations which could have been prevented. The bipartisan Safe Step Act would support patients and provide guardrails by requiring payers to implement clear and transparent processes for patients or prescribers to request an exception to a step therapy protocol. Join them to hear from patient advocates who are working on this very important issue. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:REVITALIZE Summit\, Celebrating 30 years of Females in Clinical Trials
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\nJoin FemHealth Insights for a 1-day virtual Revitalize Summit to explore the role of government in the advancement of women’s health. Hear from industry leaders on the present state and future of clinical trial development and analysis\, alternative forms of research funding\, and reimbursement strategies with payors and federally funded programs. \nThrough keynotes\, panels\, and networking\, explore how technological advancements are changing the way healthcare for females is built\, delivered\, and reimbursed. \nWho is attending? This is a great event for anyone working in or interested in women’s health from pharma\, biotech\, academia\, regulatory\, media\, venture capital\, family offices\, foundations\, startups\, US Government\, payors\, and the like. \nWhy is it called Revitalize? Between 1977 and 1993\, females of reproductive age were banned from participating in clinical trials in the United States. Luckily\, Congress passed the NIH Revitalization Act in 1993 which reversed this ban and permitted female participation. This change was absolutely critical for the next wave of femhealth research and innovation. \nRegistration is $30 but use promocode “SWHR” for 100% off\, free tickets to the event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER
