- Summary:
- When the first edition of this book was published in 2013 it was still controversial to many on whether or not true racial differences existed in the delivery of fertility care. Since then, much like the evolution of the acceptance of climate change, it is now generally believed that not only are there differences but that there are real racial and ethnic disparities in access and treatment outcomes. This second edition of Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Fertility and Assisted Reproduction documents our present understanding of the scope, contributing causes and complexity of potential solutions for closing the racial/ethnic disparity gap in using our most medically advanced assisted reproductive technologies to bring joy to those who wish to become parents. Effort has been directed to developing a better understanding of how and why these disparities occur. An expert assembly of key leaders in the field of reproductive medicine imparts insight and clinical experience to identify and analyze the possible causes of racial disparities infertility outcome. This book is sure to distinguish itself as the definitive reference on racial and ethnic differences in assisted reproduction.
