School-Based Education: An Opportunity to Promote Equitable Access to Sexual and Reproductive Health Knowledge
Semin Reprod Med DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1742336All young people are entitled to knowledge and support that protects their sexual and reproductive health. School-based education is the most opportune setting for young people to have equitable access to sexual and reproductive health education. However, there is room for significant improvements in the provision of sexual and reproductive health education globally, and a range of barriers to be addressed. The Global Standards for Health Promoting Schools is a framework for governments, policy-makers, and schools to ensure that all students receive sexual and reproductive health...

Relationships between Women's and Men's Modifiable Preconception Risks and Health Behaviors and Maternal and Offspring Health Outcomes: An Umbrella Review
Semin Reprod Med DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1744257Parental health before conception effects maternal and offspring health outcomes. Preconception care provides healthcare to prospective parents addressing modifiable preconception risks and health behaviors. This umbrella review aimed to consolidate evidence on women's and men's modifiable preconception risks or health behaviors associated with maternal and offspring health outcomes. MEDLINE, EMBASE, Maternity and Infant Care, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched from March 4, 2010, to March 4, 2020. Eligible studies were systematic reviews or meta-analyses of observational studies...

Health Economics and Equity in Preconception Health Care: A Systematic Review
Semin Reprod Med DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1749684Poor pregnancy outcomes affect a child's lifelong health and disadvantaged populations are at higher risk of poor pregnancy outcomes. Preconception care aims to improve pregnancy outcomes by managing conditions and risks prior to conception. Given known inequities in pregnancy outcomes, the adoption of preconception care may benefit disadvantaged populations. Health economics plays an important role in the implementation of interventions, as economic evaluations seek to identify the most efficient and equitable care options. This review aimed to identify the cost-effectiveness of...

Primary Amenorrhea and Differences of Sex Development
Semin Reprod Med 2022; 40: 016-022 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1753551Primary amenorrhea may be a feature or a presenting sign of a difference of sex development, most often due to a congenital anatomic difference or hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. History and physical exam are very important, including whether any variation in external genitalia was present at birth as well as a careful review of pubertal development. Further evaluation includes hormone measurement, imaging, and genetic evaluation. Those with a disorder of sexual development diagnosis should receive care through a multidisciplinary team with psychosocial support....

Preconception Health in the Workplace: An Opportunity to Support Equitable Access to Education
This article highlights the workplace as an important setting for promoting equitable access to preconception health-related information and education to support optimal well-being before pregnancy. Workplaces can support equitable access to education and knowledge for preconception health: (1) due to the high engagement of reproductive-age women in the workforce and (2) by reaching vulnerable or high-risk population groups who may otherwise face barriers to accessing preconception health information. Literature that explicitly investigates workplace delivery of preconception health promotion programs is scarce. However, w...

Setting Preconception Care Priorities in Australia Using a Delphi Technique
Semin Reprod Med DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1749683Preconception health affects fertility, pregnancy, and future health outcomes but public awareness of this is low. Our aims were to rank priorities for preconception care (PCC), develop strategies to address these priorities, and establish values to guide future work in preconception healthcare in Australia. A Delphi technique involved two rounds of online voting and mid-round workshops. Inputs were a scoping review of PCC guidelines, a priority setting framework and existing networks that focus on health. During July and August, 2021, 23 multidisciplinary experts in PCC or socia...

A Systematic Review of Clinical Guidelines for Preconception Care
Semin Reprod Med DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1748190Preconception care (PCC) involves a wide-ranging set of interventions to optimize health prior to pregnancy. These interventions seek to enhance conception rates, pregnancy outcomes, childhood health, and the health of future generations. To assist health care providers to exercise high-quality clinical care in this domain, clinical practice guidelines from a range of settings have been published. This systematic review sought to identify existing freely accessible international guidelines, assess these in terms of their quality using the AGREE II tool, and assess the summary rec...

The Interaction of Obesity and Reproductive Function in Adolescents
Semin Reprod Med DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1744495Obesity is increasing worldwide, including in pediatrics. Adequate nutrition is required for initiation of menses, and there is a clear secular trend toward earlier pubertal onset and menarche in females in countries around the globe. Similar findings of earlier pubertal start are suggested in males. However, as individuals and populations have crossed into over-nutritional states including overweight and obesity, the effect of excess weight on disrupting reproductive function has become apparent. Hypothalamic hypogonadism and polycystic ovary syndrome are two conditions where re...

Artificial Egg Activation Using Calcium Ionophore
Semin Reprod Med DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1742171Artificial oocyte activation, most commonly using calcium ionophore, is a treatment add-on utilized to avoid recurrence of abnormally low or total failed fertilization following in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection. It aims to modify defective physiological processes, specifically calcium-mediated cell signaling that are critical to events required for fertilization. Routine application of artificial oocyte activation is neither required nor recommended; however, it represents an invaluable intervention for a subgroup of patients affected by sperm-related oocyt...

The Reproductive Impact of Eating Disorders in Adolescents
Semin Reprod Med DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1742326Eating disorders are common, chronic illnesses that frequently arise during adolescence. Because of the impact on nutrition, individuals with eating disorders have significant health consequences, including effects on reproductive health. Adolescent women with eating disorders frequently have menstrual irregularities, though the causes of these abnormalities are complex and vary depending on the type of eating disorder. Teens with eating disorders may have changes in current and future fertility, and eating disorders during pregnancy can have medical and psychologic impacts for b...
