Abstrakt: | Infertility can affect all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. Barriers to quality fertility care include access, financial limitations, education, and social stigmas. Although racial disparities in outcomes of assisted reproductive technology can be largely attributed to the influences of systemic racism (not race), we can make changes to improve equity of care. We propose strategies in the areas of advocacy, clinical setting, community, and outcomes to address the racial disparities. (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.) |
