The Institute recognizes that community women have an important role in advancing women’s health, and their participation is needed to identify health priorities and cultural barriers. It has already been demonstrated that our Illinois Women’s Health Registry is a valuable tool to researchers and a portal that gives women access to research studies. Women want to be informed consumers and we have identified clinical services that understand the unique needs of women. Our publications and blog site provide valuable authoritative information.
Registry The Illinois Women’s Health Registry was created as a gateway for women to participate in research activities. Through this research tool, the Institute invites women from diverse backgrounds across the state to contribute to defining the future of women’s health. Women who are 18 years of age or older, from all backgrounds, may join the Registry and, thus, enter a pool of potential study subjects for University-sponsored research.
