I've always suspected the sociodemographic associations we were taught in endometriosis (i.e. higher SES, whiter) had more to do with expense, access & effort required for formal diagnosis. It's an interesting condition - significant under- & over-diagnosis prob both present

Yes that's actually what I would've expected - an increase in perceived incidence due to better access to diagnosis. Maybe the self-report is negating that association?
