 quotes Jean Wactawski-Wende in an All Things Considered story about funding cuts to the landmark Women’s Health Initiative, including her own $1.2 million contract. “It’s a huge blow,” said Wactawski-Wende. “It’s been one of the most productive studies in history. And to really understand older women’s health — dementia, heart failure, frailty — we are the study to do that. And it’s been eviscerated right now because of these budget cuts.” Wactawski-Wende and the other coordinating centers will cease collecting any new data from more than 40,000 women who are still in the study. The researchers are starting to notify the now older women in the study that their participation will be ending.
