The bill would direct the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) to conduct research and testing into the utility of routine baseline hormonal testing of premenopausal women.
I will work to direct the NIH and the USPSTF to research and test the utility of routine baseline hormonal testing for premenopausal women.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov identifies Hillary J. Scholten as the U.S. Representative for Michigan's 3rd District and provides her sponsored and cosponsored legislation records. Targeted searches of those records for NIH, USPSTF, hormone testing, baseline hormonal testing, and premenopausal women did not identify a bill, resolution, amendment, or enacted law directing NIH or USPSTF to study routine baseline hormonal testing for premenopausal women.
A targeted Congress.gov legislation search for the phrases baseline hormone testing and baseline hormonal testing did not identify federal legislation matching the promised routine baseline hormonal testing directive.
A targeted Congress.gov legislation search combining Scholten with USPSTF and hormone did not identify legislation, amendments, or resolutions by Scholten that would direct the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force to research or test routine hormonal screening for premenopausal women.
GovInfo searches of congressional publications for Scholten with baseline hormonal testing did not identify Congressional Record remarks, bill text, reports, or other official publications showing Scholten advanced the promised NIH/USPSTF directive.
Executive Order 14120 broadly advanced women's health research and innovation across federal agencies, including HHS and NIH-related work, but it did not direct NIH and USPSTF to research and test routine baseline hormonal testing for premenopausal women, and the available record does not tie the order to Scholten action.
The USPSTF recommendation topic index does not show a recommendation or active topic for routine baseline hormonal testing for premenopausal women. Searches for baseline hormone testing, baseline hormonal testing, and premenopausal hormone screening did not identify a USPSTF recommendation implementing the promised research/testing pathway.
Assessments
The record does not show Scholten writing, sponsoring, cosponsoring, or otherwise materially advancing a federal action directing NIH and USPSTF to research or test routine baseline hormonal testing for premenopausal women. A broad Biden administration women's-health research executive order occurred during her service, but it did not implement the specific NIH/USPSTF baseline hormonal-testing directive and is not tied to Scholten's action. No serious legislative or executive attempt by Scholten is shown, so effort credit is not warranted.
