Racial influence on prevalence of Endometriosis

Neila Raveen

The project looks at the racially differential rates of diagnoses of endometriosis. I consider factors that can affect a woman's access to healthcare as well as different biases. The biases include social, publication, and biological biases that can explain why both Black and Hispanic women experience lower rates of diagnosis compared to White women and why Asian women experience a later time of diagnosis than White women do.
