Hormone Health Data and Research Act

The Hormone Health Data and Research Act directs the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force to study hormone levels in women before they enter perimenopause. Specifically, the bill requires an evaluation of existing evidence regarding how much these hormone levels vary and whether testing them early helps doctors diagnose or manage perimenopause. Within 18 months of passing, these agencies must submit a report to Congress summarizing their findings and suggesting areas for future research. This legislation primarily affects women experiencing perimenopause and the medical professionals who treat them by mandating a review of current scientific data.
