July 28 is World Hepatitis Day
Viral hepatitis affects more than 300 million people worldwide and leads to more than 1.3 million deaths each year. Despite effective vaccines, prevention strategies, and medications, deaths from hepatitis are increasing globally. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and other organizations around the world recognize World Hepatitis Day by raising awareness about viral hepatitis, the burdens people with hepatitis face, ongoing work to combat viral hepatitis across the globe, and actions people can take to prevent future transmission.
Learn more and use the resources from the World Hepatitis Alliance to spread the message on World Hepatitis Day.

Health of Women of U3 Populations Data Book
The fifth edition of the Health of Women of U3 Populations Data Book from the NIH Office of Research on Women's Health highlights the current state of knowledge on the health of understudied, underrepresented, and underreported (U3) women, including the ways that social and structural drivers perpetuate health disparities. The Data Book uses an intersectional lens to explore data from national surveys and vital statistics on priority health issues with respect to race and ethnicity as well as rurality, economic status, sexual orientation, and gender identity. It offers an opportunity for scientists interested in health equity research to consider some of the limitations and opportunities available for national-level data to reflect the health status of women from a multidimensional and gendered perspective.
