Mayo invites you to a Virtual Learning on Women & Alcohol Misuse

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.

Attendees will receive a $150 prepaid cash card in thanks for their participation.

Details about how to attend will be emailed to registrants.
