RfC: Adding sections on Psychological and emotional impact of health problems
Dear colleagues,
it has come to my attention from a recent study that there is still a long way to go to fix gender bias in Misplaced Pages's health information.
One of the important aspects is that WP:MEDMOS discourages, or does not mention, the potential psychological or emotional impact of certain medical conditions. We likely treat this too much from a narrow, medical perspective whereas readers on certain topics (as was mentioned in this recent study, e.g. abortion, menopause, vaginal dryness, but also cancer etc.) are likely interested in emotional and psychological impact too.
I will open an RfC at the talk page: here. I propose to treat this of course like any other aspect according to standard policies such as reliable sources, but I'm sure that for many of these aspects there is a wealth of research on the personal, emotional and psychological impact of diseases.
I would value your input on this important discussion (call cross-posted at WP:MED).

New article on Black maternal mortality in the US
Hello! I am planning to create a new article about Black maternal mortality in the US with the current article "Maternal mortality in the US" as its parent. So far, I am thinking that the new article would include sections on historical context (subsection on trends to the present), access to peri- and post-natal care, intersection of race and SES, medical racism, and reproductive and sexual health and rights (subsection on access to abortion). Much more detailed information can be found in my user sandbox. I welcome any feedback! Thanks! Akandru (talk) 04:24, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
- Akandru, Fantastic idea! I've started to take a look at the sources you list on your user page and will try to give my feedback tonight. I'm looking forward to seeing this develop. Cheers, Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 20:12, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
- Quick update: I'm still working on this and won't be able to finish tonight, but hope to soon. Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 04:46, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
