## Summary

**Endometriosis awareness and research.** This resolution would designate March 2025 as Endometriosis Awareness Month and urge earlier detection, better provider education, and increased research into treatments and a cure. - Patients and families: Notes the disease affects about 1 in 10 women of reproductive age and that diagnosis often takes 3–11 years. The resolution would promote public education and culturally competent care to help reduce delays and improve quality of life. - Workers and employers: Cites lost productivity of about 11 hours per week and reports 40 percent of women face impaired career growth. The resolution would encourage awareness that may lead to more workplace support and accommodations. - Health care providers and researchers: Calls for updated clinical guidelines, additional clinical research, and increased funding for treatments that include surgery and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists. It also notes average direct health care costs of about $13,000 per patient per year.
