SUMMARY:Stronger than Sticks and Stones: Promoting Women’s Bone Health through Preventive Care
DESCRIPTION:Approximately 54 million Americans have low bone mass\, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis and bone fracture. Risk of bone fracture is higher in women compared to men\, in part\, due to the influence of the hormone estrogen. Throughout a woman’s life\, estrogen has important bone building function that is compromised when its production significantly reduces after menopause. Approximately half of all women over age 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis\, and in older adults\, complications related to a broken bone can be life threatening and result in the need for long-term nursing care. The screening recommendation for bone mineral density at age 65 and older for women makes it challenging to identify bone disease early enough to maximize preventive care. Shifting from a reactive break-and-fix model to one that centers around predictive and preventive bone health and wellness could substantially decrease the clinical and public health burden of bone fractures and diseases. \nSWHR hosted a virtual public forum to discuss women’s bone health\, the experiences of women living with osteoporosis\, and how to navigate access and management of care. \nThis public forum is a follow-up to SWHR’s Bone Health Roundtable held in April 2022 that sought to identify gaps in research\, clinical practice\, policy\, and education. \n  \nFollow the conversation on Twitter at @SWHR and #SWHRtalksBoneHealth. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:NIPS Explained: A Fireside Chat About Prenatal Genetic Screening
DESCRIPTION:Noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) is a type of genetic screening that assesses if a pregnancy is at increased risk for certain chromosomal abnormalities\, such as Down syndrome or Edwards syndrome. Prenatal genetic screening is an innovative tool that can help women make informed decisions about their reproductive health and pregnancy management\, and may improve maternal and fetal outcomes by allowing preparation to care for children who may have a genetic disorder. \nNIPS (also referred to as cfDNA screening) can be performed as early as 10 weeks into a pregnancy and is considered noninvasive because the required blood draw poses minimal to no risk to mother or baby. Even though the process is simple\, NIPS should only be done after a woman is provided education and information about the process\, risks\, and benefits of NIPS\, and gives her informed consent to proceed. \nThe Society for Women’s Health Research has created a NIPS Resource Guide for Women and other educational materials to increase awareness about genetic screening and provide essential information for understanding NIPS so that women may have informed conversations with their providers before undergoing prenatal genetic screening. \nSWHR hosted a fireside chat to share educational information about the impact of prenatal screening on maternal and infant health. The event discussed how to reduce barriers to care and improve health outcomes through patient education\, patient provider communication\, and informed consent. \nFollow the conversation on Twitter at @SWHR and #SWHRtalksGeneticScreening. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Tests that Could Save My Breasts
DESCRIPTION:In the United States\, there are more than 100 diagnostic tests and procedures available for detecting diseases and monitoring their progression. Diagnostic tools are also used to guide treatments and evaluate their effectiveness. Some 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. \nSWHR hosted 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 discussed how to improve health outcomes for diseases and conditions that disproportionately or exclusively affect women\, with special a focus on cancers\, reproductive health\, and bone health. \nThe SWHR Value of Diagnostics within Women’s Health series includes: \n\nHow Vaccines and Screening Can Prevent Cervical Cancer (January 26\, 2022)\nImproving Lives by Detecting Sexually Transmitted Infections Early (April 13\, 2022)\nAssessing and Promoting Bone Health Across the Lifespan (May 18\, 2022)\nHow Hormones Can Tell a Fertility Story (June 8\, 2022)\nOvarian Cancer Screening: More than a Pelvic Exam (September 7\, 2022)\nUnderstanding the Tests that Could Save My Breasts (October 12\, 2022) \n\n  \nFollow the conversation on Twitter at @SWHR and #SWHRtalksDiagnostics. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Closing the Loop for Lupus: A Fireside Chat
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 the skin. 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 multiple health 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 is hosting a series of webinars to share educational information about the impact of lupus on women’s health. The events discuss 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\n  \nFollow the conversation on Twitter at @SWHR and #SWHRtalksLupus. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Psoriatic Arthritis: More than Just Sore Joints
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nMore than 8 million individuals in the United States have psoriasis. This chronic inflammatory skin disease is characterized by patches of red or discolored and irritated skin that are often covered by flaky white or gray scales\, depending on the skin type. An estimated 10-30% of people with psoriasis also develop psoriatic arthritis (PsA) – a type of inflammatory arthritis linked to psoriasis. \nApproximately 40% of people with PsA report significant impacts on their everyday life\, and despite PsA occurring equally in women and men\, women often report experiencing more fatigue and functional limitations. Women are also less likely to respond to some treatments and achieve remission than men. \nPatients are not often assessed for joint pain during psoriasis care visits\, delaying a timely diagnosis by years\, and potentially resulting in irreversible joint damage. Psoriasis (and subsequent PsA) is also under-diagnosed among African Americans and other individuals with skin of color due to differences in clinical presentation. \nSWHR is hosting a series of webinars to share educational information about the impact of psoriatic arthritis on women’s health. The events will discuss 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 across the lifespan. \nThe SWHR Psoriatic Arthritis series includes: \n\nPsoriatic Arthritis: More than Just Sore Joints (October 17\, 2022)\nPsoriatic Arthritis: A Woman’s Toolkit to Soar Above the Pain (November 16\, 2022)\n\n  \nFollow the conversation on Twitter at @SWHR and #SWHRtalksSkin. \nThis event is free and open to the public.
