SUMMARY:Eye Health Education Roundtable: Understanding Eye Diseases that Disproportionately Affect Women Across the Lifespan
DESCRIPTION:Vision impairment is one of the most common causes of disability in the United States. More than 12 million Americans aged 40 and older are visually impaired or blind and the number is projected to double by 2050. Women are disproportionately affected by some of the most common eye diseases. Eye conditions can also present or affect women differently across the lifespan. Some are linked to specific events like pregnancy and menopause\, while others become increasingly common and burdensome with age. \nDisparities in eye diseases due to biology widen even further when considering factors such as social determinants of health; gaps in research data\, literature\, and policy; insufficient provider and patient education; and limitations in screening and treatment options. These sex and gender disparities are clinically under-addressed and burdensome on both patient quality of life and the health care and economic systems. \nIn December 2021\, SWHR convened a diverse and interdisciplinary working group of clinical and public health researchers\, health care providers\, patients/patient advocates\, and policy leaders for a closed\, one-day roundtable meeting. The group discussed the health\, social\, and economic impacts of eye diseases that disproportionately affect women’s health. \nSWHR’s Eye Health Program published the SWHR Patient Toolkit: A Guide to Women’s Eye Health in January 2022 to empower individuals to navigate their eye health and eye care as they age.

SUMMARY:Focus on Fibroids Series: Empowering Women through Personal Journey-telling
DESCRIPTION:Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are non-malignant growths of the uterus and one of the most common gynecological conditions nationwide. A growing and overlooked public health issue\, fibroids affect approximately 26 million American women between the ages 15 to 50\, however fibroids can affect patients across life stages from adolescence to post-menopause. \nWith a wide array of common symptoms\, such as severe and irregular menstrual bleeding\, pelvic and pain back\, bladder or bowel dysfunction\, and challenges with fertility\, fibroids can result in significant health issues. Further\, women with fibroids can experience delays in diagnosis due to stigma around menstrual disorders and normalization of symptoms by both patients and healthcare providers alike. \nDiagnosing and treating uterine fibroids often requires a personalized approach that combines an assessment of a patient’s values and needs with medical treatments and wellness strategies to help each individual maintain a full and high quality of life. The Society for Women’s Health Research has created educational materials to increase awareness and understanding of uterine fibroids and help individuals with uterine fibroids navigate their care. \nSWHR hosted this webinar as part of our Focus on Fibroids Series: Empowering Women to Live Well with Uterine Fibroids to share educational information about uterine fibroids\, including diagnosis\, treatment options\, access to care\, and disparities\, as well as and highlight the experiences of women living with fibroids. \nThe SWHR Focus on Fibroids series includes: \n\nCongressional Briefing: Supporting Women with Fibroids Through Policy Action (July 13\, 2021)\nTools to Navigate Optimal Care (November 29\, 2021)\nEmpowering Women through Personal Journey-telling (December 6\, 2021): this event\n\nCheck out the new Uterine Fibroids Toolkit: A Patient Empowerment Guide to learn more about risks and treatments. \nFollow along on social media at #SWHRtalksFibroids.

SUMMARY:Specialized Centers of Research Excellence (SCORE) Annual Meeting Keynote Address
DESCRIPTION:The Specialized Centers of Research Excellence on Sex Differences\, or SCORE\, program is the only NIH cooperative agreement program supporting disease-agnostic research on sex differences. Each center serves as a national resource for translational research to identify the role of biological sex differences in the health of women. At this year’s SCORE Annual Meeting\, Tracy L. Bale\, Ph.D.\, of the University of Maryland School of Medicine\, will present the keynote address: “Extracellular Vesicles as Stress Signals: Identifying Novel Biomarkers in Maternal and Fetal Health.” Attendees may register for the keynote address only; the remainder of the event is a business meeting for SCORE investigators. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Women's Health: Policy Update & Funding Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Join for the final gathering of the Women’s Health Innovation Coalition in 2021! During this Women’s Health: Policy Update & Funding Opportunities event\, speakers will share insights on non-dilutive grant funding for bioscience companies advancing innovations in women’s health as well as key policy updates. Then we want to hear from the audience. Please come prepared to share what you want to know about government so we can best respond to the Women’s Health Innovation Coalition needs in 2022.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Women’s Health Innovation Coalition is a coalition of organizations advocating and promoting greater attention\, research\, and investment in diseases\, conditions\, and indications that exclusively or predominantly impact women. Understanding that women are biologically different than their male counterparts\, has led to the identification of gaps in women’s health outcomes. This has created new opportunities to source solutions from innovators. We have made it a priority to prove that women’s health is not a niche market and are driving initiatives to promote greater gender-relevant data transparency to spur innovation and better health outcomes for all. \n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Building Unifying Systems of Care Addressing Comorbidities in Women and Girls
DESCRIPTION:This virtual workshop will address the gaps and opportunities for advancing community adoption and implementation of gender-relevant\, evidence-based mental health\, substance use\, cardiopulmonary\, and metabolic disease prevention and treatment interventions for women from high-risk and marginalized communities across the lifespan. Addressing social determinants of health and building infrastructure to ensure sustainability of innovations will be important cross-cutting themes. \nThe workshop will bring together experts—including researchers\, clinicians\, and community and Federal partners—to: \n\nPresent the current state of research and critical gaps that need to be addressed in order to accelerate adoption of care models that integrate clinical and population health within well-coordinated\, data-driven systems of care; and\nExamine how an integrated set of evidence-based practices delivered across the entire continuum of health care services (i.e.\, prevention services\, primary care\, specialty health care\, behavioral health care\, and health maintenance) in community-based settings can improve health outcomes in women and girls.\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:20/20 Foresight: Understanding Women’s Eye Health and Supporting Patient Needs
DESCRIPTION:Vision impairment is one of the most common causes of disability in the United States. More than 12 million Americans aged 40 and older are visually impaired or blind. Women are affected disproportionately more than men and certain eye conditions can present in women differently across the lifespan. Some diseases become increasingly common or burdensome with age\, such as age-related macular degeneration\, cataracts\, and glaucoma. Up to two-thirds of Americans with these conditions are women. Other conditions that are also more prevalent in women\, such as diabetic retinopathy and thyroid eye disease\, tend to occur as complications of an associated chronic disease. \nWhile biology is a major influence in eye health\, disparities are worsened as a result of gender-influenced social determinants\, gaps in research and clinical education\, and insufficient policy solutions to eliminate barriers to access treatments and quality care. \nSWHR hosted a virtual public forum to discuss women’s eye health and highlight common eye diseases that affect women\, experiences of women living with eye disease\, and how to navigate access and management of care. \n\n\n\n\nThis public forum is part of SWHR’s Eye Health Program. It builds on a peer-reviewed paper and SWHR’s Eye Health Education Roundtable held in December 2021 that sought to identify gaps in research\, clinical practice\, policy\, and education. Read a summary of the roundtable meeting here. \nSWHR’s Eye Health Program published the SWHR Patient Toolkit: A Guide to Women’s Eye Health in January 2022 to empower individuals to navigate their eye health and eye care as they age. \nFollow along on social media at #SWHRtalksEyeHealth.
