ISMT Professors Present Research at the 41st ESHRE Congress in Paris
Ana Galhardo presented the scientific poster entitled "Assessing motivations for not being a gamete donor: The development of the Questionnaire of Motivations for Not Donating Gametes (QMNDG)," a study co-authored with former ISMT student Beatriz Diniz and professors Naír Carolino, Ilda Massano-Cardoso, and Marina Cunha. The study seeks to deepen the understanding of the factors that lead individuals to choose not to participate as donors in medically assisted reproduction processes.

The study, co-authored by Filipa Nunes, Raquel Martins, and Mariana Veloso Martins, analyzes the effectiveness of different educational approaches aimed at adolescents, aiming to promote reproductive literacy and informed decision-making.
