Definition
What is women’s health research?
In What Is Women’s Health Research? the (United States National Institutes of Health (NIH)) Office of Research on Women’s Health’s (ORWH) elaborate on:
“The field has expanded far beyond its roots in reproductive health and includes the study of health throughout the lifespan and across the spectrum of scientific investigations: from basic research and laboratory studies to molecular research, genetics, and clinical trials. Researchers are investigating healthy lifestyles and behavior, risk reduction, and disease prevention, and searching for the best ways to diagnose and treat chronic conditions”.2
Research
How is women’s health research important?
The ORWH explain:
“A person’s health is influenced throughout their lifespan by many factors. Some of the most important factors include sex, gender, racial ethnicity, culture, environment, and socioeconomic status. Researchers are discovering the critical roles that sex (being male or female) and gender identity (including social and cultural factors) play in health, wellness, and disease progression. The discoveries being made through the study of women’s health and sex differences are key to advancements in personalized medicine for both sexes”.3
Women
Are women represented in research?
In Health Equity: Why Is Equity In Women’s Health Important? the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women note:
- Women are underrepresented in research, which means there’s a lot we still don’t know
- Women are not receiving optimal treatment, which comes from lack of access and/or lack of knowledge
- Women are grossly underrepresented in STEM careers–we need to close that gap”.4
What is STEM?
STEM may be an abbreviation for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
Office of Research on Women’s Health
What is ORWH?
In Office of Research on Women’s Health: About ORWH the ORWH elaborate on:
“Established in 1990, the Office of Research on Women’s Health serves as the focal point for women’s health research at the National Institutes of Health. For over thirty years, ORWH has worked across the NIH and beyond to advance our understanding of sex and gender as influences in health and disease, support women in biomedical careers, and stimulate research to improve the health of women”.5
Society for Women’s Health Research
What is the (United States) Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR)?
The SWHR explain:
“The Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) is the thought leader in promoting research on biological sex differences in disease and improving women’s health through science, policy, and education. We are making women’s health mainstream”.6
Women’s Health
What sex and gender differences are there in many diseases and conditions?
According to the ORWH:
- Autoimmune diseases
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Depression and brain disorders
- Diabetes
- Infectious diseases
- Obesity
- Substance abuse disorders”.7
