PHILADELPHIA, June 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LevLane Advertising, one of Philadelphia's oldest independent, full-service advertising agencies, and Rosy Wellness, the Webby Award-winning app-based platform that addresses common health concerns for women throughout their lifespans, have jointly released a white paper titled "The Women Are Not Alright," which addresses critical issues in women's health.
In the white paper, the teams uncover a crucial link between mental and sexual health and the barriers to comprehensive care that women face. The report highlights significant healthcare disparities in women’s health, and the urgent need for better solutions, and provides actionable recommendations to improve women's health outcomes.
"We're excited to share this white paper, which dives into the real challenges women face with their mental and sexual health," said Liz Weir, Chief Marketing Officer of LevLane and co-author of the study. "As an agency, our mission is to uncover insights that spark meaningful conversations and positive changes. We hope this research not only highlights these critical issues but also inspires better ideas and solutions for our clients and the wider market to truly support women's well-being."
Data from the research reveals that women experiencing sexual problems are 30% more likely to have poor health and 15% more likely to report low sex satisfaction.
Additionally, nearly 50% of women cite some type of mental health concern as their top health priority, with issues like depression and anxiety significantly impacting sexual well-being.
Lyndsey Harper, MD, CEO of Rosy Wellness, and co-author of the white paper, said, "This research is incredibly important when it comes to understanding how critical the need for comprehensive and expert-led solutions in women’s health is. We must change the way we talk about and treat women’s health issues to ensure we can provide patients with evidence-based answers and the empowerment they need to improve their overall quality of life.”
The authors argue that fostering more robust and accessible educational programs, incentivizing holistic care through payer commitments, calling for renewed action from the investment community on focused funding for women’s health, and advancing research on the connection between mental health and sexual wellness can lead to practical solutions and destigmatization.
"We are advocating for a more comprehensive approach to addressing the needs of women, ensuring that both mental and sexual health are given equal priority and attention," said co-author Karla Loken, DO; OBGYN; FACOG; Vice President of Medical Affairs and Clinical Operations, HerMD; and Strategic Advisor, FEMSelect.
In conjunction with the release of the white paper, its findings and recommendations were discussed during Kisaco Research's June Women's Health Innovation Series titled "Empowering Women Through Collaboration: Bridging the Gap Between Mental and Sexual Health."
