This lecture highlights the pioneering work of communication researchers Jennifer J. Bute and Maria Brann (IU School of Liberal Arts), who have worked with a multidisciplinary team to develop a specialized reproductive grief screening tool to reshape clinical practice. Reproductive loss affects approximately 2 million women annually in the United States alone and can trigger profound identity crises, severe anxiety, PTSD, and depression. By examining the development and implementation of this screening tool, this session explores how health care providers can better identify at-risk patients, open vital dialogues about loss, and integrate comprehensive mental health advocacy into the standard continuum of reproductive technology and care.
