Description du projet
Amélioration de la technologie de reproduction assistée
La technologie de reproduction assistée (TRA) est une tendance à la hausse dans la santé de la reproduction en Europe et un secteur en croissance rapide dans l’industrie de la santé. Le projet B2-InF, financé par l’UE, examinera la façon dont les jeunes perçoivent la TRA et dans quelle mesure les cliniques alignent leurs services et la recherche avec les perceptions, les préoccupations et les attentes des jeunes citoyens. Le projet favorisera la participation du public dans la science et la fourniture de la TRA pour la rendre plus adaptée aux besoins de la société. Il recueillera des données sur la perception et la sensibilisation ainsi que des informations fournies par les cliniques aux jeunes clients. Il analysera ensuite ces données d’un point de vue socio-culturel, juridique et d’analyse des genres afin d’identifier les problèmes d’alignement et autres points faibles. Enfin, il diffusera les résultats aux parties concernées.
Objectif
Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) plays a significant role in the reproductive health of European society and is a fast growing part of the health industry. In this context, B2-InF will seek to answer two questions: (1) How do young people perceive and think about ART? (2) How can ART clinics better align their research, services, and information with the views, concerns and expectations of citizens? By answering these questions, B2-InF aims to promote public participation in the science and provision of ART so that these become more responsive to the needs and concerns of society.
The project will be carried out in three stages. In the first stage, data is collected about perceptions and awareness of ART in young populations and the information offered by clinics to their clients. In the second stage, this data is analysed from sociocultural, legal and gender perspectives in order to detect misalignments and other weak points and to determine ways of improving the information offered by clinics. Based on this analysis, the project will produce a set of national and international recommendation guidelines. In the third stage, these guidelines along with policy briefs and other results will be disseminated to clinics, policymakers, and other key stakeholders in scientific fields, the health industry, and the general public.
B2-InF proposes an integrated research methodology to be carried out in eight European countries, including several underrepresented countries of Eastern Europe: Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Macedonia, Albania, Slovenia and Kosovo. The project is designed to work bottom-up, moving from citizens to scientists and policymakers, and will provide much-needed empirical data about the representation of ART in society, allowing for a better fit between the provision of ART and its legal and sociocultural environments. In short, B2-InF will give voice to citizens towards improving ART for society.
