2018 Research Conference on Sleep and the Health of Women
In-Person Event
Oct 16 - 17, 2018
Bethesda, Maryland, USAOVERVIEW
2018 Research Conference on Sleep and the Health of Women is organized by National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and will be held from Oct 16 - 17, 2018 at Natcher Conference Center, Bethesda, Maryland, United States of America.
Course Description:
The 2018 Research Conference on Sleep and the Health of Women is intended to sound a wakeup call throughout society about the importance of sleep for the health of women. It will showcase a decade of federally funded research advances in understanding health risks, societal burden, and treatment options associated with sleep deficiency and sleep disorders in women.
Researchers and the public will present and discuss the state of the science regarding sleep and the health of women; the limitations to implement what is already known; and the opportunities to translate scientific findings into practice and routine care. The discussion panels will engage Federal and public stakeholders to identify actionable new directions and areas in which research is needed.
Course Goals:
• Highlight research advances, including:
? The burden of sleep deficiency and sleep disorders on women in the United States
? Sleep-related health disparities among women
? Biological mechanisms underlying sex differences in sleep
? Societal/cultural/environmental issues underlying gender differences in sleep
• Stimulate translation of these advances for the purpose of:
? Improving healthcare practice
? Informing policy
? Developing public health programs and educational campaigns
? Improving sleep health using cross-sector approaches
• Identify critical gaps in research as well as barriers to implementation or adoption of existing knowledge.
? Limitations of current research, and gaps in our knowledge about sleep deficiency and disorders in women
? Identify underlying social, cultural, environmental, and biological factors that affect sleep in women
? Create treatment options specific and appropriate for women
? Develop and improve diagnostic tools and criteria for sleep disorders in women
? Evidence needed to translate current knowledge into practice
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
