Have you caught up on the new FDA Diversity Action Plan? At a high level, the Diversity Action Plan aims to increase enrollment and retention of clinically relevant study populations in clinical research by ensuring adequate representation of study participants that reflect different age groups, geographic locations, gender identities, sexual orientations, socioeconomic statuses, physical and mental disabilities, and more. Advarra's Luke Gelinas recently weighed in on the potential impact FDA guidance will have on the industry, along with fellow experts Pamela Tenaerts, MD, MBA (Medable) and Pam D. (Curavit).

Common question: Has medical gender transition for minors been shown to prevent suicide? Answer: Research does NOT show that medical transition procedures for minors reduce transgender suicide. • The “transition or suicide” claim—that parents must choose between a “live trans son or a dead daughter” (or the reverse)—is not supported by credible scientific evidence. • Widely cited studies claiming cross-sex hormones reduce suicidality in gender-confused youth have significant flaws and cannot be relied on. • Sound studies show no reduction or, in some cases, an increase in suicidality after medical transition procedures. Examine the evidence. (See comments for link to the research.) Teri White, SRAS, CLC www.stillwaterslife.com teri@stillwaterslife.com

Women persistently remain invisible in so many different spheres, a condition exacerbated by the gender data gap, which detrimentally affects women’s health, safety, economic status etc. The next Aletta Jacobs School of Public Health Dive will explore how women are underrepresented in (medical) research, another arena where our visibility remains a challenge. #genderequality #womensrights #gendergap
Women are underrepresented in (medical) research. This lack of understanding of the female body will be the topic of our next Aletta Jacobs School of Public Health Dive on 22 January. We look forward to welcoming Rina Knoeff, Trudy Dehue, Bertho Nieboer, Alies Pegtel, Sieta de Vries, Catharina Hartman, Iris Sommer, and many other experts.

Following the MAGE webinar on gender responsive M&E, this workshop will provide participants the opportunity to go more in-depth into what gender responsive M&E and how gender can be integrated into program M&E across the M&E program cycle, including how gender indicators can effectively be used in monitoring and evaluation of health programs. Using women’s reproductive, sexual, and maternal health case studies, participants will work in small groups operationalize the gender responsive M&E. Each small group will report back to the larger group.

The Continuing Professional Development (CPD) focus for 2023/24 is on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. We'd love to hear your thoughts to the questions posed in the following clinical scenario. This is an open and inclusive conversation, designed to help chiropractors consider how to integrate and embed the behaviour of inclusion and diversity into their practice. All participants are encouraged to share their response without fear of judgment, evaluation, or any negative consequences for their contributions. ⬇️ 🗣️ A 48-year-old (cis)woman attends your clinic with pelvic pain. She loves socialising at the pub with her wife, but is now finding sitting on the bar stools uncomfortable. She records in her documentation that she has a past medical history of hypertension, depression, and a family history of cervical cancer. She tells you that she is taking antidepressants. 1️⃣ What clinical concerns should you have in relation to her family history of cervical cancer? 2️⃣ Why should cervical screening be a particular concern for you in relation to the care of lesbian and bisexual women? Either comment below, or leave your thoughts anonymously on this form: https://lnkd.in/eBQ2gutX and we will publish your comment on your behalf. We will shortly be publishing a link to all the previous scenarios, alongside some of the points to consider, on our website. We will comment below when this is live.

Unraveling the Mediating Role of Frailty: Understanding Health Care Utilization among Older Sexual and Gender Minority Adults in the All of Us Research Program #OHDSISocialShowcase #JoinTheJourney Lead: Chelsea N Wong Team: Louisa H. Smith, Rob Cavanaugh, Brianne Olivieri-Mui, PhD, MPH Background: Older sexual and gender minorities (OSGM) have a higher burden of frailty and mental health conditions compared to non-SGM older adults (non-OSGM). Evidence from New York City suggests, OSGM are twice as likely to utilize mental health care compared to non-OSGM. Moreover, frailty among non-OSGM has been linked to higher utilization of health care, including general doctor visits, hospitalizations, and emergency department visits. However, the extent to which frailty impacts the relaAonship between OSGM status and health care uAlizaAon is poorly understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to establish whether frailty acts as a mediator between sexual and gender minority (SGM) status and use of general doctor visits and mental health visits. Our hypothesis posits that individuals who are not frail will demonstrate a weaker positive association between OSGM status and healthcare utilization. https://lnkd.in/eGF5jGtJ

#InternationalOrgasmDay - let's talk about sexual climax awareness and related issues! ☝🏼 In addition to medical challenges and sexual dysfunction in both men & women, there are also still too many stiagmatized issues that we want to address & bring to the forefront through awareness: 🙌🏻 Raise awareness for what orgasms are and how to have one (especially aimed toward women due to social stigma surrounding the female orgasm) 🙌🏻 Raise awareness for the health benefits of orgasms 🙌🏻 Raise awareness for the "orgasm gap" For this reason, ESSM is strongly committed to medical education & professional consultancy about all kinds of sexual healthcare topics. And we are proud that our own two high-class programmes 'EFUS: ESSM Female Ultrasound School' and 'ESSM School and Advanced Course of Sexual Medicine' will ensure effective clinical practice now and in the future. #Orgasm #SexualHealth #Masturbation #MaleOrgasm #FemaleOrgasm #Holiday #SexualEduation #sexualmedicine #ESSM24 #ESSM #sex #letstalkaboutsex #sexualclimax
