SUMMARY:Congressional Briefing: Supporting Women with Fibroids Through Policy Action
DESCRIPTION:The Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) hosted a virtual congressional briefing to raise awareness of policy needs to improve care for individuals with uterine fibroids\, a condition that is underfunded and often overlooked in research. \nApproximately 26 million Americans ages 15–50 have fibroids\, making it one of the most common gynecological conditions nationwide and a growing and overlooked public health issue. One study found that more than 80% of Black women and nearly 70% of white women have fibroids by age 50. Black women are at higher risk for the disease\, tend to develop fibroids earlier in life and have larger tumors\, and are three times more likely to be hospitalized for the condition than white women. \nStigma around menstrual issues has contributed to a lack of public awareness about fibroids and insufficient research and development of novel treatments. Fibroids account for an estimated $5.9 billion to $34.4 billion in annual costs to the U.S. health care system\, but fibroids research received only $17 million in National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding in 2019\, putting it in the bottom 50 of nearly 300 tracked conditions. \nDuring the briefing\, panelists provided an update on the state of fibroid research\, discussed unmet needs in the field\, and shared insight on what policy actions could help improve care for women with fibroids. They also discussed the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Uterine Fibroids Research and Education Act of 2021 (H.R. 2007)\, which would increase research funding for fibroids\, improve awareness and training\, and seek to measure cost to government payers. \nThis event was in partnership with the Fibroid Foundation\, the Black Women’s Health Imperative\, the White Dress Project\, and the Society of Interventional Radiology.

SUMMARY:Noninvasive Prenatal Screening: Eliminating Barriers to Access and Reducing Disparities
DESCRIPTION:July 27\, 11 a.m.- 3 p.m. — Noninvasive Prenatal Screening (Day 1) \nJuly 30\, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. —Noninvasive Prenatal Screening Policy Discussion (Day 2) \nGenetic screening is a prime example of translating advances in human genomics research into an intervention with a direct benefit to public health. A variety of methods are available to screen adults\, fetuses\, and newborns — all with a goal of gaining insight into the risk posed by certain heritable conditions. \nNoninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) can help women make informed decisions about their reproductive health and pregnancy management\, as well as improve maternal and fetal outcomes by allowing preparation to care for children who may be affected by a genetic disorder. However\, challenges with integrating research and development advances into health care and regulatory systems have left gaps in preventive care for patients. \nAs part of our Genetic Screening Program\, SWHR convened an interdisciplinary working group of health care providers\, medical professional society leaders\, patients/patient advocates\, policy experts\, and diagnostic company scientists for a closed roundtable meeting on July 27 and July 30 to discuss how to eliminate barriers to access and reduce health disparities related to NIPS.

SUMMARY:Women's Reproductive Health Forum
DESCRIPTION:Maternal near deaths —from hemorrhages\, strokes\, aneurysms\, clots\, sepsis infections\, cardiac arrest\, organ failure and other life-threatening complications of pregnancy and childbirth— have been on the rise\, and now exceed 65\,000 a year (ProPublica). 1 in 8 couples have trouble getting pregnant and more than 99% of women aged 15–44 who have ever had sexual intercourse have used at least one contraceptive method (Fertility Answers and Guttmacher). The Women’s Health Innovation Coalition is bringing the women’s reproductive health community together to recognize these issues and discuss current challenges as well as breakthroughs in reproductive health. Make sure to RSVP if you haven’t already and please spread the word to any and all who may be interested in attending!
