“…Four studies found that ART use was highest in white women [ 27 , 28 , 43 , 73 ], while three studies found that Asian women had the highest rate of use [ 38 , 84 , 89 ]. Seven studies found that Hispanic women were less likely to seek out infertility treatments or use ART [ 6 , 35 , 38 , 45 , 54 , 83 , 84 ]. Some studies found Black women [ 6 , 26 , 38 , 54 , 83 , 84 ], Asian women [ 6 , 35 ], American Indian/Alaska Native women [ 38 ], or Pacific Islander women [ 38 ] to have lower rates of infertility treatments.…”

Inequities in Medically Assisted Reproduction: a Scoping Review

Infertility has a high prevalence in the USA and health inequities play a large role in access to medically assisted reproduction (MAR). The aim of this study was to identify gaps in research pertaining to inequities in MAR and propose suggestions for future research directions. Searches were performed using MEDLINE and Ovid Embase. Articles that reported on MAR inequities, published between 2016 and 2021 in the USA, and written in English were included. The inequities investigated were adapted from the NIH-designated health disparities populations. Each article’s inequity findings were extracted and reported, along with frequencies of inequities. Our sample included 66 studies. The majority of the studies investigated MAR outcomes by race/ethnicity and found that historically marginalized populations had poorer outcomes. LGBTQ + populations were less likely to use MAR or seek infertility care. Most studies found positive correlations with MAR use with income and education. The least commonly studied inequities in our sample were sex and/or gender and rural/under-resourced populations; findings showed that men and people from rural/under-resourced populations were less likely to access MAR. Studies that examined occupational status had varying findings. We suggest that future research be targeted toward: (1) standardizing and diversifying race/ethnicity reporting regarding MAR, (2) the use of community-based participatory research to increase data for LGBTQ + patients, and (3) increasing access to infertility care for men.

“…Weathering has recently been linked to racial disparities seen within IVF. A study using a national survey demonstrated that Black women pursuing fertility treatments had weathering scores 1.29 times as high as White women’s scores, although this was not statistically significant ( 18 ). Other nonbiological causes such as unequal access to care have been evaluated as potential explanations to account for observed differences.…”

The study is carried to identify the main socio economic cultural and political view determinants of women empowerment in the developing countries. The highest determination of the study is to analyze and identify the variables through which the process of women empowerment can be measured. This study is based on secondary data and reported to analyze the empowerment factor of women in 124 developing countries, the data was ordinal in nature and randomly selected from the population. The main investigation of this research study to analyzed the relationship of women fertility, socioeconomic and political factor on the women empowerment. After conducting a cross sectional study for the most recent period, the findings of study show that the main deterrents towards women disempowerment are attributed as high fertility rates, high maternal mortality, gender inequality, lack of female"s access towards education, health and economic opportunities, lack of leadership and decision making qualities. It is found that a patriarchal culture is equally responsible for women in sufferings and disempowerment. However, democracy and democratic culture can contribute well in upgrading the process of women empowerment in developing countries.
