Supporting Women with Disabilities to Achieve
Optimal Health
An estimated 35 million women
in the U.S. report having a disability. Women with disabilities require
health care and health programs for the same reasons anyone else does—to
stay well, active, and a part of the community. Learn more about the
challenges women with disabilities experience and how you can help support
disability awareness.
College Health and Safety for Women
Going to college may be an
exciting time for all age groups. It’s an opportunity for students to gain
new knowledge and experiences, both inside and outside the classroom.
Working together, students and institutions can take steps to ensure a safe
and healthy college experience for all.
Attitudes and Experiences Surrounding Female
Genital Mutilation/Cutting in the United States: A Scoping Review
A scoping review was conducted
using the Arksey and O'Malley's framework to identify research and gaps in
literature about Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) -related
attitudes and experiences among individuals from FGM/C-practicing countries
living in the United States.
Will Clinical Standards Not be Part of the Choir?
Harmonization Between the HL7 Gender Harmony Project Model and the NASEM
Measuring Sex, Gender Identity, and Sexual Orientation Report in the United
States
The objective of this study is
to propose an approach for semantic and functional data harmonization
related to sex and gender constructs in electronic health records and other
clinical systems for implementors, as outlined in the National Academies of
Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report Measuring Sex, Gender Identity,
and Sexual Orientation and the Health Level 7 Gender Harmony Project
product brief "Gender Harmony-Modeling Sex and Gender Representation,
Release 1."
Changes in Sexual Behaviors with Opposite-Sex
Partners and Sexually Transmitted Infection Outcomes Among Females and
Males Ages 15-44 Years in the USA: National Survey of Family Growth,
2008-2019
Rates of reported gonorrhea and
chlamydial infections have increased substantially over the past decade in
the United States, and disparities persist across age and race/ethnicity.
This study aimed to understand potential changes in sexual behaviors,
sexual network attributes, and sexually transmitted infection screening
that may be contributing to these trends.
A National Communication Effort Addressing
Maternal Mortality in the United States: Implementation of the Hear Her
Campaign
More than 700 women die each
year in the United States from complications related to pregnancy, and
considerable racial and ethnic disparities continue to exist. In August
2020, the CDC's Division of Reproductive Health launched a national
communication campaign called "Hear Her" to raise awareness of
urgent maternal warning signs during pregnancy and in the year after
pregnancy and improve communication between pregnant or postpartum people
and their support systems and health care providers.
Utilization of HIV Prevention, Care, and
Treatment Services Among Young Men Who Have Sex with Men and Transgender
Persons of Color in the U.S. South: A Qualitative Analysis
To better understand
utilization of HIV prevention, care, and treatment services by young men
who have sex with men and young transgender persons, of Black race or
Hispanic/Latino/Latina ethnicity in the United States South, this study
conducted semi-structured interviews with 127 clients at one of four
community-based organizations (CBOs) in Miami, Atlanta, New Orleans/Baton
Rouge, or Columbia, South Carolina.
Variability in Urinary Phthalates, Phenols, and
Parabens Across Childhood and Relation to Adolescent Breast Composition in
Chilean Girls
Epidemiologic evidence suggests
that environmental factors acting as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs)
are associated with mammographic breast density and the risk of breast
cancer. Exposure to EDCs during puberty, a period of rapid breast
development, may affect susceptibility to breast carcinogenesis. This study
evaluated the relation between urinary concentrations of 15 suspected EDC
biomarkers across three pubertal time points and breast fibroglandular
volume and total breast volume at 2-years post-menarche.
Interaction of Maternal Medication Use with
Ambient Heat Exposure on Congenital Heart Defects in the National Birth
Defects Prevention Study
Maternal exposure to
weather-related extreme heat events (EHEs) has been associated with
congenital heart defects (CHDs) in offspring. Certain medications may
affect an individual's physiologic responses to EHEs. This study evaluated
whether thermoregulation-related medications modified associations between
maternal EHE exposure and CHDs.
Participation in an HIV Prevention Intervention
and Access to and Use of Contraceptives among Young Women: A Cross
Sectional Analysis in Six South African Districts
This study investigated whether
young women's participation in a combination HIV-prevention intervention
was associated with accessing and using condoms and other contraceptives. A
cross-sectional household survey was conducted from 2017 to 2018 among a
representative sample of young women aged 15-24 years old living in six
South African districts.

CDC Authors: COVID-19 Impact on Women
Impact of Prenatal
COVID-19 Vaccination on Delivery and Neonatal Outcomes: Results from a New
York City Cohort
Research suggest prenatal
vaccination against COVID-19 is safe. However, previous studies utilized
retrospectively collected data or examined late pregnancy vaccinations.
This study investigated the associations of COVID-19 vaccination throughout
pregnancy with delivery and neonatal outcomes.
SARS-CoV-2 Infection During Pregnancy and Preterm
Birth in Massachusetts from March 2020 Through March 2021
SARS-CoV-2 infection during
pregnancy has been linked to preterm birth, but this association is not
well understood. The objective of this study is to examine the association
between SARS-CoV-2 infection and spontaneous and provider-initiated preterm
birth, and how timing of infection, and race/ethnicity as a marker of
structural inequality, may modify this association.
Adapting a Group-Level PrEP Promotion
Intervention Trial for Transgender Latinas During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has
profoundly affected the conduct of community-based and community-engaged
research. Transgender women are disproportionately affected by HIV, and it
is essential to find ways to continue research designed to support their
health within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and future infectious
disease outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics. This article describes
adaptations to the trial within five domains.
