Human Research Methods.

The passage of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Revitalization Act of 1993 was a critical milestone that mandated the inclusion of women in clinical research to improve healthcare for all people.  Unfortunately, nearly two decades later, only 37% of clinical human studies include women.

Rationale for including sex in human studies

  • Sex and gender differences in Health
  • Sex, Equity and Science
  • Sex and Sensitivity:  the continued need for sex-based biolmedical research and implementation

Tools to help increase sex inclusion in Human Studies

  • Illinois Women's Health Registry
  • Development and Evaluation of Briefing Notes as a Novel Knowledge Translation Tool to Implement Sex/Gender Analysis 
  • Scientific Excellence in Applying Sex- and Gender-Sensitive Methods in Biomedical and Health Research
