Burden, Prevalence, and Treatment of Uterine Fibroids: A Survey of U.S. Women.

Background: Most women will experience uterine fibroids by the age of 50, yet few data exist describing the overall patient experience with fibroids. The objective of this population-based survey was to characterize symptom burden, patient awareness, and treatment decision-making for fibroids, including a comparison among women of varying backgrounds.

Materials And Methods: Women (≥18 years) were recruited via email from GfK KnowledgePanel, a representative panel of US households, or identified with opt-in consumer panels.

Women's perceptions and treatment patterns related to contraception: results of a survey of US women.

Objectives: The aim of this survey was to understand US women's contraception journey from her first prescribed method to her current one including reasons for choosing and stopping/switching methods, healthcare provider relationships, and bleeding preferences.

Study Design: We administered a nationally-representative, web-based survey of US women aged 16 to 50 years currently using (N=1656) or had previously used (N=1448) prescription contraception, or who had never used it but would consider using it in the future (N=103). Statistical analyses were based on overlap formulae with sample weights adjusted to 2010 US census demographic benchmarks.
