CDC National Infertility Awareness Week Announcement in MMWR

On April 21, CDC released an announcement about National Infertility Awareness Week in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR).
During 2011–2013, approximately 1.6 million (6%) married women aged 15–44 years in the United States reported difficulty getting pregnant. Likewise, nearly 4 million (9%) men aged 25–44 years reported that they or their partner saw a doctor for advice, testing, or treatment for infertility during their lifetime.
In collaboration with partners, CDC developed the National Public Health Action Plan for the Detection, Prevention, and Management of Infertility, which identifies opportunities to prevent and reduce infertility and to improve outcomes for couples undergoing fertility treatment.
