Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the field of reproductive medicine has witnessed a profound transformation, propelled by a convergence of scientific breakthroughs, societal shifts, and evolving cultural norms. This dynamic landscape has ushered in an era of unprecedented possibilities and challenges in the realm of fertility diagnosis and treatment. This Special Issue seeks to unravel the multifaceted perspectives of this evolving landscape, illuminating key trends and critical issues that are reshaping the way we perceive, diagnose, and address fertility concerns. We will bring together a diverse array of perspectives encompassing the latest research, clinical insights, and delve into the scientific advancements aimed at preserving reproductive potential and ensuring healthier outcomes for women and couples navigating the complex terrain of infertility.

The Disparities in Assisted Reproductive Technology (DART) hypothesis, initially described in 2013 and further modified in 2022, is a conceptual framework to examine the scope and depth of underlying contributing factors to the differences in access and treatment outcomes for racial and ethnic minorities undergoing ART in the United States. In 2009, the World Health Organization defined infertility as a disease of the reproductive system, thus recognizing it as a medical problem warranting treatment. Now, infertility care is largely recognized as a human right. However, disparities in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI) care in the US persist today. While several studies and review articles have suggested possible solutions to racial and ethnic disparities in access and outcomes in ART, few have accounted for and addressed the multiple complex factors contributing to these disparities on a systemic level. This review aims to acknowledge and address the myriad of contributing factors through the DART hypothesis which converge in racial/ethnic disparities in ART and considers possible solutions to effect large scale societal change by narrowing these gaps within the next decade.
