Abstract
The purpose of the National Institutes of Health conference on Reproductive Problems in Women of Color that convened on July 25, 2009 was to bring investigators together to examine data related to reproductive health care access and ethnic disparities in reproductive problems, fertility treatments, and pregnancy outcomes. One of the goals discussed at this conference was to initiate a research network of investigators interested in studying these problems through the development of an American Society of Reproductive Medicine special interest group and Society of Assisted Reproductive Technology writing groups.
