SUMMARY:Science that Speaks: Advancing Research Priorities in Women’s Obesity Care
DESCRIPTION:Part of the OSSD 2025 Annual Meeting\nThis event is taking place live at the OSSD 2025 Annual Meeting\, on Sunday\, June 1 at 1:30 p.m. MT in Albuquerque\, NM.\nThe Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) is committed to advancing women’s health through science\, policy\, and education while promoting research on sex differences to optimize women’s health. Although research has documented sex differences in metabolism and cardiometabolic diseases\, there remains insufficient investment in studying sex\, gender\, and hormone differences in obesity\, and inclusion of women from diverse subpopulations in clinical studies. This session will discuss gaps in obesity research and care that contribute to health disparities among women and highlight opportunities to engage in advocacy for more holistic policy solutions. It will also examine how communication practices between scientific and policy communities shape our ability to increase investment\, reduce stigma\, and influence meaningful change in across the health care ecosystem. \nThis event includes: \nCalling for Change: Elevating the Women’s Health Lens in Obesity Research\, presented by Irene O. Aninye\, PhD\, Chief Science Officer\, Society for Women’s Health Research \nWeight and obesity impact health across the lifespan\, with unique sex- and gender-based challenges for women. Comprehensive approaches to metabolic health care must incorporate sex differences analyses\, as well as recognize how stigma\, access\, and clinical decision-making impact women and vary by population. This presentation will provide a focused overview of the role and challenges of obesity in improving health outcomes for women. The speaker will share how SWHR has worked to advance obesity research and care in women\, and highlight research questions\, clinical strategies\, and policy solutions that SWHR proposes to address persistent gaps and disparities needing national and global attention. \nCommunicating for Change: Maximizing Accuracy\, Impact\, and Reach\, presented by Syreen Goulmamine\, MPH\, Science Programs Manager\, Society for Women’s Health Research \nScience communication shapes research impact\, especially in areas like obesity\, where stigma\, bias\, and knowledge gaps persist. Current narratives around obesity tend to obscure the biological and hormonal underpinnings of metabolic health\, hyperfocus on individual behavior\, and underplay the roles of life stage\, health care access\, and other determinants of health for women. These errors will perpetuate if communication strategies are unable to effectively explain the science to key stakeholders with the capacity to make meaningful change in their spheres of influence. When scientific goals and data are not communicated in a way that is valuable to the intended audiences\, critical work risks being overlooked and under-appreciated. For obesity in women\, research must be framed to clearly respond to public health needs\, and at the highest level of effect\, scientific storytelling drives others to internalize content\, assume ownership of the cause\, and champion actionable change. Attendees will be encouraged to examine how their own communication practices may unintentionally reinforce these patterns and how reframing the science can drive more equitable research and policy outcomes. \nFind more information about the OSSD 2025 Annual Meeting here.

SUMMARY:Strategies and Interventions to Strengthen Support for Family Caregiving and to Alleviate Caregiver Burden: A Workshop
DESCRIPTION:As the U.S. population ages and the number of individuals living with serious illnesses such as cancer\, dementia\, heart disease\, and Parkinson’s disease increases\, family members and others are increasingly directly involved in providing care for these individuals. While unpaid\, family caregivers can derive significant satisfaction and other positive benefits from caring for a loved one\, research reveals that caregivers experience significant physical\, psychological\, emotional and financial burdens and a decline in their own physical and emotional health as a result of caring for people living with serious illness. \nThis workshop will discuss evidence-based interventions and strategies that effectively address the physical\, mental\, and financial challenges of caregiving. The 1.5 day workshop will take place June 5 – 6\, 2025 in Washington\, DC. Registrants may attend all sessions in-person or virtually. \nLearn More

SUMMARY:Exploring PCOS: Advancing Solutions through Interdisciplinary Research\, Clinical\, and Patient Perspectives
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\, 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\, and its cause is still unknown. 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. \nThe Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) convened an interdisciplinary PCOS Working Group of researchers\, health care providers\, and patient advocates for a closed\, roundtable meeting in June 2025. During this closed roundtable event\, the Working Group discussed the impact of PCOS on women’s health\, with an emphasis on disparities and persistent knowledge gaps concerning PCOS.
