Psychology professor Dana Ménard’s current study of sexual well-being among those diagnosed with endometriosis is funded by Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and WE-Spark Health Institute. This study is surveying Canadian cisgender women and those who identify as two-spirit, trans, or non-binary, and assigned female at birth, over 16 years of age, who have been diagnosed with endometriosis by a healthcare professional. These participants are asked to fill out an online survey of about 30 to 40 minutes on endometriosis and sexual health and well-being. https://bit.ly/4bXrVtm

Today, on World Sexual Health Day, we celebrate the importance of promoting awareness around sexual health, well-being, and rights. I want to stress the need for a comprehensive and inclusive approach to sexual health, one that prioritizes early detection and prevention of diseases like Cervical Cancer. I recently collaborated with the research group on sexual and reproductive health at the University of Cuenca, Ecuador, on a literature review of p16/Ki-67 dual staining as a predictive tool for cervical cancer screening. This research highlights the vital role of advanced diagnostics in protecting women’s health. Let's continue to advocate for accessible and effective healthcare solutions as a fundamental aspect of sexual well-being. Here is the article ➡ https://lnkd.in/dJT2zdHa

The Covid-19 pandemic, spanning four years, has underscored its impact on various aspects of human health, including sexual function. Emerging research suggests potential impairments to reproductive health post-recovery, emphasizing the need for greater awareness and understanding in this domain. #PostCovidSexualHealth #SexualHealthMatters DrSafeHands https://lnkd.in/grDTdbSB

The new call from SNSF Swiss National Science Foundation within the National Research Programme "Gender Medicine and Health" (NRP 83) is aimed at addressing #longcovid #mecfs. We at Long Covid Switzerland are happy to cooperate on a proposal! “NRP 83 aims to provide a knowledge base for an evidence-based implementation of sex/gender aspects in health research, medicine and public health in Switzerland. It strives to (a) produce context-sensitive and transdisciplinary knowledge to understand sex/gender-related aspects in health; (b) improve and adapt clinical practice to include sex/gender specificities; and to (c) integrate a gender mainstreaming approach as an elemental part of the health system. By calling for research projects and through coordinated activities, the programme sets out to bring about a change in practice in Switzerland.” Specifically it mentions under improving and adapting clinical practice: “Improve quality of medical practice for understudied health problems specific to women or with a higher prevalence among women (e.g. #endometriosis, #longcovid). https://lnkd.in/eQp_Fbr7

❤️Today is World Sexual Health day! 🔈Today is a day to promote a greater social awareness on sexual health around the world. WHO refers to sexual health as a state of emotional, physical, mental and social well-being related to sexuality. It is a reminder to prioritise education, support and training for everyone’s well-being. 🤝Work is being done to strengthen research and programmatic work on elements of sexual health which have received low funding and attention such as endometriosis, menopause and menstrual health. 🔗Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eE9GsJyQ 🔗Check out Evidence Aid’s related summaries on sexual health: https://lnkd.in/dF4jA_xC
