Transforming Women’s Health Through Interdisciplinary Research

The Center for Research in Women’s Health (CRWH), formerly the Center for Women’s Reproductive Health, is dedicated to improving health outcomes for women and their children across all life stages through innovative, interdisciplinary research. As a University-Wide Interdisciplinary Research Center (UWIRC) housed within UAB’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, CRWH serves as a vibrant hub for collaboration, discovery, and advocacy. We invite you to join us in advancing women’s health through research excellence. Your insights, participation, and advocacy are vital in shaping a healthier future for women—locally and globally.

  1. Project setting: the project was carried out at gynecological and antenatal care units of major reference hospitals in the South West Region of Cameroon-Africa.
  2. Study Design: the study enrolled previously pregnant, sexually active women trying to conceive again for a minimum one year, as cases of infertile women and pregnant women as controls.
  3. Potential Impact: the study will contribute to filling the paucity of information on Cameroon’s sexually transmitted infection (STI) and infertility while striving at providing reliable information that can be used to improve the management of infertility with country data while advocating for a national STI screening program.
