Browsing: Black women’s health disparities remain a critical issue as limited research funding continues to impact care

        Estimates suggest that only about 2% of U.S. health research is dedicated to studying the health needs of Black women. Organizations such as the Black Women’s Health Imperative are working to change that. With support from a $1.2 million grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the organization has launched initiatives to address these disparities, including the largest menopause and perimenopause survey ever conducted specifically for Black women.
