About The Study: The findings of this cohort study suggest that poverty and social disadvantage, characterized by low educational level and household income among both women and men, were associated with lower fecundability (defined as the per-month probability of conceiving) and increased risks of subfertility (defined as a time to pregnancy or the duration of actively pursuing pregnancy of more than 12 months or use of assisted reproductive technology) but not with miscarriage risk. Further studies are needed to identify the underlying and explanatory mechanisms associated with fertility outcomes and the potential for novel public health strategies for couples desiring pregnancy.

People in a hurry are less likely to help a stranger in need. But does being in a hurry also reduce niceness? – researchers from the University of Warsaw and SWPS University wonder in the paper published in the Journal of Community & Applied Social Psychology. It turns out that this is not always the case, and the key to avoid it is mindfulness.

A new study by the University of Portsmouth and University of Surrey in England has identified the link between being an “evening person” and problematic technology use.

Four out of five parents tell their donor-conceived children about their biological origins.

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women globally, according to the World Health Organization. It accounted for 660,000 new cases and 350,000 deaths in 2022.

Screening, along with early detection and treatment, can greatly improve a patient’s chances of survival. But in low- to middle-income countries, many women are not being screened, and they’re disproportionately dying from the disease.

In new research from Texas McCombs, Anima Nivsarkar, a doctoral student in marketing, uncovers a powerful tool to boost screening: trust. When messages are delivered by trusted and credible sources such as doctors and peers, they increase the likelihood that women will seek potentially life-saving exams.
