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)

Question about articles regarding abortions by state
Let me start by apologizing in advance if this is the wrong place to ask this. I noticed that many articles in the category Abortion in the United States by state have in their lead lists of totals of abortions performed in those states by year, and it just seems... off to me. Unnecessary. In some cases, such as Abortion in Michigan, it is almost the only thing in the lead. "In 2010, the state had seven publicly funded abortions. There were 27,629 legal abortions in 2014, and 27,151 legal abortions in 2015. There were 26,594 total abortions performed in Michigan in 2017." (That is from the Michigan article but that it the form this takes in many of the articles in that category) just seems overly detailed for the lead of these articles, and perhaps represents an undue focus on the numbers themselves. But I wanted to check somewhere before I just started removing them from the leads of a ton of articles, and this seemed like the place to ask. Any feedback appreciated.

- NonReproBlue, Thanks for posting here. It looks weird and out-of-context to me too, and if you have another idea for a more appropriate introduction, you can boldly replace it. By the way, in your comment above you probably meant to link to the category Category:Abortion in the United States by state. The way to do this in wikitext is a bit of an obscure trick - you have to put a colon before "Category" so it looks like this: ]. Take care, Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 16:29, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
