evidence: The department hosts field-leading research on fertility (notably via the PRESTO study and considering both male and female contributions); women’s health (the SELF cohort focusing on uterine fibroids, research on menstruation and menopause); adverse birth outcomes (eclampsia, birth defects, stillbirths); gynecologic outcomes (e.g., vulvodynia); and determinants of health and flourishing of individuals with developmental disorders, e.g., Down Syndrome. In the past year, department faculty have published extremely important work about the effects of COVID-19 vaccines on fertility and miscarriages, while continuing their ongoing work on diverse determinants of fertility. Department faculty (Rubenstein, Weuve) are also using Medicaid data to better understand the health needs of people living with Down Syndrome and, in collaboration with a co-research team of individuals with and without Down Syndrome, are delivering critical evidence on the long-term health of individuals with Down Syndrome.
