SUMMARY:Promoting Shared Decision-Making in PCOS Management
DESCRIPTION:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormone disorder occurring during a woman’s reproductive years that causes an excess of the hormone androgen and often\, irregular or prolonged periods. PCOS affects 8-13% of women of reproductive age worldwide and nearly 5 million women in the United States. However\, nearly 70% of women with PCOS remain undiagnosed. Although it is usually discovered only after women experience highly irregular periods or unsuccessful attempts at pregnancy\, this chronic condition impacts more than just ovulation. Women with PCOS have an increased risk of developing serious health conditions\, including diabetes\, heart disease\, anxiety\, depression\, and stroke. It is imperative that women living with PCOS are supported by an interdisciplinary care team that works together to effectively manage their uterine health and overall well-being. \nSWHR hosted an educational webinar to discuss how women and their health care providers can work together to improve diagnosis and treatment of PCOS across the lifespan.

SUMMARY:Advancing Research on Chronic Conditions in Women: Report Release Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Chronic health conditions are the leading causes of illness and death in the United States\, but impact women and men differently in ways that may hamper the diagnosis\, treatment\, prevention\, and management of these conditions in women. An expert committee of the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine wrote a report to describe current gaps in the science on chronic conditions in women and propose a research agenda. \nAt a public release webinar\, members of the committee will provide an overview of the report’s conclusions and recommendations and answer audience questions. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Women & Caregiving: Supporting Children with Narcolepsy through School
DESCRIPTION:Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that affects the brain’s ability to control sleep-wake cycles\, resulting in persistent and excessive daytime sleepiness and other symptoms. There are two types of narcolepsy: Type 1 that occurs with cataplexy (a sudden loss or activation of muscle tone) and Type 2\, which does not. \nMore than half of individuals with narcolepsy have symptoms that start before the age 20 and go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for many years. In children\, this invisible illness is often misinterpreted as laziness\, lack of motivation\, behavioral problems\, or cognitive difficulties. As a result\, narcolepsy can have a significant impact on a child’s personal\, social\, and academic life. Women who are caregivers for a child living with narcolepsy are charged to advocate for their support and quality care in both the medical and school systems\, hoping to lessen the burden of this disease on their family. \nThe Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) has created a fact sheet and other resources to assist women and caregivers of children with narcolepsy\, as they navigate the educational system to provide support and possible accommodations for their child. \nSWHR hosted a webinar to share information about narcolepsy\, including diagnosing\, treating\, and seeking academic accommodations for children\, as well as highlight the experiences of women who are caregivers of children living with narcolepsy.

SUMMARY:Let's Discuss Maternal Mortality!
DESCRIPTION:This is an in-person Congressional Briefing featuring: \nModerator: Dr. Mark Mather\, Population Reference Bureau \nSpeakers: \n\nDr. Robert Anderson\, National Center for Health Statistics\nDr. Alecia McGregor\, Harvard University\nDr. Amanda Stevenson\, University of Colorado-Boulder\n\nMaternal mortality in the United States has been rising markedly over the last decade. According to data from the National Center for Health Statistics\, U.S. maternal mortality rates are at their highest levels since 1965. Alarmingly\, black women are three times more likely than white women to die from pregnancy-related causes. There are complex social\, economic\, and health factors underlying this devastating trend\, which scientists\, public health officials\, and community leaders alike are working to address.  Population scientists\, including demographers\, economists\, sociologists\, and epidemiologists\, are making unique contributions to not only elucidate the scope of the problem\, but also to inform the development of appropriate\, targeted interventions–especially for vulnerable populations. \nPlease join hosts for ice cream and cookies and an engaging panel of experts who will discuss scientific progress being made towards understanding and preventing maternal mortality in the United States. \nThis is a widely attended event. Sponsored by PAA and the Association of Population Centers. \nRegister
