Women’s Health Access Matters (WHAM) was created in response to the considerable differences in coverage of women and men in health research. It was founded in 2020 by Carolee Lee, who convened a group of businesswomen motivated to create an innovative dialogue and establish data that could impact this situation. WHAM believes that the lives of women and men will vastly improve through research that has similar involvement of women and men in trials – and female and male animals in preliminary research. By conducting research in parity and reporting sex outcomes separately, health breakthroughs will be accelerated, and health outcomes around the world improved.
