About ReproRheum
ReproRheum is a clearing house for information, tools, and research about Reproductive Health for people with Rheumatic Disease.
The program is supported by an Independent Medical Education grant from UCB and is directed by researchers at Duke University School of Medicine.
ReproRheum | GOALS
Our goal is to enable all people living with rheumatic disease to build the families they desire. We believe that honest and accurate conversations about pregnancy prevention, planning, and management are essential to meet this goal. We seek to provide useful tools to guide personalized discussions and decisions.
Our focus is providing searchable information that is easily accessible during a clinic visit. ReproRheum.Duke.edu is a living resource, changing with the newest data and guidelines.
This website is intentionally self-directed, meaning visitors are encouraged to explore the resources most relevant to their questions. Information is available in multiple forms, to meet the time and learning needs of users, with resources shared as text, graphics, and videos.
