Posted by Colleen Young, Connect Director @colleenyoung, Aug 21 11:53am

REGISTRATION FULL
Thank you for registering

Mayo Clinic Connect is working with researchers at Mayo Clinic on a project to involve more women in patient-centered research on alcohol misuse. Studies show that women experience more health problems related to alcohol use than men. Unfortunately, it's often more challenging for women to get treatment and participate in research studies for alcohol misuse.

Connect and Mayo Clinic are hosting a virtual event on Tuesday, September 16th from 6:30-8:00pm ET (5:30-7:00pm CT) for attendees to learn more and share their perspectives on the following:

Health and treatment-related disparities in alcohol misuse among women
Patient-centered comparative effectiveness research
Perceptions and experiences on how to address treatment barriers
Perspectives on areas for future research on alcohol misuse in women

Female attendees ages 18+ are welcome to join if they meet any of the following criteria:

Lived experience with alcohol misuse (past or current), or
Family member of a woman with alcohol misuse, or
Healthcare provider or trainee specializing in alcohol misuse

We are looking for 10 participants. You do not need to be a Mayo Clinic to participate. The session will be held online.

It does say Medical Professionals. Perhaps he is a medical Professional. The A.A. Big Book referencing women alcoholic. It states that females bottom out faster than men. The A.A. Big Book has some great info.

I’m referring to the lead of the session. It’s about women and the lead is a man. I’m wondering if he is the moderator, as well.
