Women’s Health Research at Yale today announced funding for three new studies investigating a method for improving the diagnosis of heart disease in women, a therapy for clinically significant sleep disruption common in Black women, and the influence of biological sex on the underlying brain patterns that link pain and opioid use.
“This last year has delivered difficult but important lessons about how sex, gender, race, and ethnicity influence the development and health outcomes of disease as well as the increasing prevalence of certain disorders,” said WHRY Director Carolyn M. Mazure, Ph.D. “With these three new studies, we are taking the next necessary steps toward understanding conditions that continue to have a devastating effect on women and particularly on women of color.”
