Robyn Jackowich, a master카지노 게임 컬렉션s student in clinical psychology, received an Ontario Women카지노 게임 컬렉션s Health Scholars Award for her research into better understanding the menstrual cycle카지노 게임 컬렉션s impact on chronic vulvar pain in order to help decrease pain levels.

카지노 게임 컬렉션I feel very honoured to have been selected for an Ontario Women카지노 게임 컬렉션s Health Scholar Award,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Ms. Jackowich says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션With this support I will have the ability of focus on research dedicated to the important issue of women카지노 게임 컬렉션s sexual health concerns, which I hope will contribute to the well-being of many women as well as future research efforts in this area. Sexuality is an integral part of health and quality of life, and it is exciting to see this recognized by prominent funding agencies.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Provoked vestibulodynia (PVD), which affects 12 to 16 per cent of women, is characterized by severe burning pain at the vaginal entrance in response to any contact. It has a significant negative impact on psychological and sexual well-being. The findings from Ms. Jackowich카지노 게임 컬렉션s research will have implications for the standardization of future PVD research as well as the clinical care of women with PVD.

PVD has also proven costly to the health-care system as women often are required to consult numerous medical providers before receiving a diagnosis, and a single curative treatment has yet to be identified. As there are no physical indicators of the presence of PVD, its causes remain unknown.

Overall, nine awards were handed out, totaling $230,000, with the aim of improving the health of women through research into such issues as stroke, eating disorders, autism, postpartum depression and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.

카지노 게임 컬렉션The Women카지노 게임 컬렉션s Health Scholars Awards are a gateway to important breakthroughs in the understanding of women카지노 게임 컬렉션s health that will benefit not just women here in Ontario, but all around the world,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Max Blouw, President of Wilfrid Laurier 카지노게임사이트 and Chair of the Council of Ontario Universities (COU), which administers the awards.

The 2015 recipients include post-doctoral, doctoral and master카지노 게임 컬렉션s students from eight Ontario universities who will receive scholarships of $18,000 to $40,000 each plus grants of $1,000 to $5,000 to support the research.

The awards were established in 2001 through funding from Ontario카지노 게임 컬렉션s Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.
