Hormone Health Data and Research Act

This bill directs the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to review existing published evidence on how a woman's hormone levels vary before she has symptoms of perimenopause, and whether there is a baseline pattern in that variation. It also directs the Department of Health and Human Services, through the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, to review existing evidence on the clinical usefulness of hormone testing. This includes whether knowing a woman's hormone levels before perimenopause symptoms helps diagnose or manage perimenopause. Within 18 months, the two agencies must send a report to specified congressional committees summarizing findings, identifying evidence gaps, and making recommendations for future research or clinical guidance.
