Our paper, “Validation of self‑report of uterine fibroid diagnosis using a transvaginal ultrasound scan” will be published in Scientific Reports shortly. We are excited about this research because it lays the foundation for serious epidemiological work on the commonest yet neglected neoplasm among black women globally. In a previous paper, we showed the lack of systematic epidemiological studies of uterine fibroid in African women (Morhason-Bello IO, Adebamowo CA. Epidemiology of uterine fibroid in black African women: a systematic scoping review. BMJ Open. 2022 Aug 3;12(8):e052053.) and in this paper, we highlight the best approaches to studying the condition.
