BRAVO - a new study on Women's Reproductive health was recently launched by the San Francisco Public Health Department. Eligible participants receive a miniumum of $155.
The BRAVO study focuses on young women between the ages of 18 and 25 who have bacterial vaginosis (BV). Even though BV is NOT a sexually transmitted infection, it can lead to vaginitis (vaginal irritation, abnormal odor and abnormal discharge). If all this sounds like way too much information (TMI), just think about how much PREVENTION can begin once this study gets underway (and more funding for women's health period!)
Eligibility:18-25 years of age - Not pregnant - Currently sexually active - Screen positive for asymptomatic BV (not a transmitted infection).
The aim of the study is to learn more about and identify BETTER ways to keep young women healthy and reduce sexually transmitted infections.
Sign-up information can be found on Craig's List or by emailing Bravostudy2008@yahoo.com
Check out the info and let your female friends and family know about BRAVO - the best prevention is protection!
