User:Flying.trapezoid/Women's reproductive health in the United States


 * 1) I plan to use the article "Racial Disparities Affecting the Reproductive Health of African American Women" to add a sentence into the section on Sexual Health, in the subsection on Race and reproductive health regarding the reasons as to why African American receive different treatment compared to white women in hospitals and doctors offices.

Parham, G. P., & Hicks, M. L. (2005). Racial Disparities Affecting the Reproductive Health of African-American Women. The Medical Clinics of North America, 89(5), 935–943. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mcna.2005.04.001

2. The second source I would use to add a subsection about sexual reproductive health in adolescents. I would not add a a lot of information, just enough to get the section going. I would start off with mentioning the problems that are seen in adolescent African American girls and the information I have on the topic.

Tubal factor infertility and its impact on reproductive freedom of African American women. American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 226(3), 379–383. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ajog.2021.06.002

3. The third source contains information regarding sexual transmitted infections, so I would talk about how HIVs and other diseases had an affect on African American. I would not contribute a lot to this section, but maybe throw important information like how African American women have a high rate of infant mortality and the ability to contract HIV in the "Sexually Transmitted Diseases" and "Sexual health" sections.

4. The fourth and final source has information about different conditions women go through with their reproductive health such as infertility, maternal mortality, preterm births, prenatal care, and three different types of cancer; ovarian, endometrial, and cervical. There are a few sections I would be able to add these bits of information into, starting with with "Sexual health" or even adding a new subsection containing the topic of cancer with a few sentence explanations about it.
