This Program Project proposal provides a comprehensive analysis of the psychological, social, economic, and medical outcomes of infertility diagnosis and treatment. The central theme is that couples and providers both face difficult decisions about the provision and use of reproductive technologies. Making the best choices requires comprehensive information about the likely costs and benefits, which may change during the course of treatment. Such information will permit better decision- making and outcomes for both patients and providers, and will identify the needs and opportunities for intervention during the trajectory of the diagnosis and treatment of infertility. The overall goals of the Program Project are to: (1) provide information on the costs and benefits of reproductive technology that will allow for better decision making and outcomes for both patients and providers; (2) identify the needs and opportunities for intervention during the trajectory of diagnosis and treatment of infertility, and (3) translate the findings into information that is useful for those considering the use of ARTs, clinicians, and policy markers. The aim of the project is to provide information that will be of use to infertile couples, providers of fertility services, insurers, health care purchasers and health care policy makers. The Program Project Director will be Nancy Adler, Ph.D., who will head the Steering Committee (SC). The SC will supervise and coordinate the activities of the Administrative Core; the Core for Data Collection, Management, and Analysis; the Advisory Board; and the component research projects. The component research projects will study decision- making processes of couples who are going through infertility treatment, the impact of these choices on couples' marital satisfaction and psychological well-being, the economic and social costs of these choices, and the pregnancy and birth outcomes that result from infertility and technological intervention. Data for three projects will be obtained by following a cohort of couples who seek an initial consultation of ART. A four project uses a different (and larger) database to determine the potential increased risk of adverse obstetric and pediatric outcomes in pregnancies resulting from treatment. The advantages of conducting together as a Program Project include the comprehensive analysis and multi-disciplinary perspective provided by the investigators, significant economies of scale as a result of using a single patient population for some and common methodologic and clinical support for all projects, and use of a common administrative structure. Most importantly, all projects draw upon existing relationships with infertility service providers in Northern California, without which a project as this could not be undertaken.

该计划项目提案对不孕症诊断和治疗的心理，社会，经济和医疗结果进行了全面分析。中心主题是，夫妇和提供者都面临关于提供和使用生殖技术的困难决定。做出最佳选择需要关于可能的成本和收益的全面信息，这些信息在治疗过程中可能会发生变化。这些信息将有助于患者和提供者做出更好的决策和取得更好的结果，并将确定在不孕症诊断和治疗过程中进行干预的需求和机会。该方案项目的总体目标是：（1）提供关于生殖技术的成本和效益的信息，以便患者和提供者做出更好的决策和取得更好的结果;（2）在不孕症的诊断和治疗过程中确定干预的需求和机会，以及（3）将研究结果转化为对考虑使用ART的人、临床医生和政策制定者有用的信息。该项目的目的是向不孕夫妇、生育服务提供者、保险公司、保健购买者和保健决策者提供有用的信息。该计划的项目总监将是南希·阿德勒博士，他将领导指导委员会（SC）。SC将监督和协调行政核心的活动;数据收集、管理和分析核心;咨询委员会;以及组成研究项目。这些组成部分的研究项目将研究正在接受不孕症治疗的夫妇的决策过程、这些选择对夫妇婚姻满意度和心理健康的影响、这些选择的经济和社会成本以及不孕症和技术干预导致的怀孕和分娩结果。三个项目的数据将通过跟踪一组寻求ART初步咨询的夫妇获得。四个项目使用不同的（和更大的）数据库来确定治疗导致的妊娠不良产科和儿科结局的潜在增加风险。作为一个计划项目一起进行的优势包括研究者提供的综合分析和多学科视角，由于使用单一患者人群进行某些和所有项目的共同方法学和临床支持而产生的显著规模经济，以及使用共同的管理结构。最重要的是，所有项目都利用了与北方加州不孕不育服务提供者的现有关系，没有这种关系，就不可能开展这样的项目。
