• Description:
  Members of the workgroup on female reproductive disorders discussed methods to evaluate five principal functions: menstrual dysfunction, infertility, pregnancy loss, pregnancy complications, and lactation disorders. To test each function, a nested strategy was considered, based on three progressive levels of effort (highest, medium, and lowest) available to conduct field investigations. This strategy was analogous to the three-tier classification of biomarkers used by other workshops. The lowest level of effort, corresponding to Tier I, consists only of questionnaires, diaries, and reviews of maternal and infant medical records. The medium level of effort (Tier 2) adds some laboratory analyses, for example, measurement of progesterone in saliva and several glycoprotein hormones in urine to evaluate menstrual dysfunction, infertility, and pregnancy loss. The highest level of effort (Tier 3) involves prospective collection of diary information and simultaneous collection of biological specimens. [Description provided by NIOSH]
