Dr. Allyson Bontempo discusses the significant research gaps in understanding endometriosis diagnostic delays across different racial, ethnic, and gender groups. With the average diagnostic delay at over eight years based on predominantly white research samples, the delay for minority patients likely remains unknown and potentially much longer.
• Most endometriosis research samples consist of about 85% non-Hispanic white participants
• Existing research shows Black patients typically experience longer diagnostic delays for various conditions
• Dr. Bontempo is collaborating with Baylor College of Medicine to study diagnostic journeys of racial, ethnic, and gender minorities
• Current increased awareness may reduce delays for some patients while including previously excluded minorities in research
• Research partnership between EndoBlack and a university is currently gathering data on Black patients' experiences
