ABSTRACT=The scope of the research manuscript, titled "A Cross-Sectional Study on the Quality of Life and its Predictors among women over the age of 18 diagnosed with endometriosis in Trinidad and Tobago", extends to assessing the quality of life ( QoL), predictors of severity of pain and acceptance of illness ( AoI) among women diagnosed with endometriosis, emphasizing the need for awareness as well as a multidisciplinary yet individualistic approach to diagnosis and treatment. By distributing WHO validated questionnaires, we aim to provide a comprehensive analysis that addresses gaps in the understanding of endometriosis as it relates to QoL. This manuscript is submitted to Frontiers Public Health section due to its alignment with the journal's focus on addressing critical gaps in the existing literature, contributing valuable insights into the effects of endometriosis on women's QoL. The uniqueness of our focus aligns with Frontiers' mission to share knowledge in an effort to ensure healthier, happier and more prosperous lives. In submitting our manuscript, we are confident that the outcomes of our study will not only enrich knowledge about endometriosis and encourage more research, but also offer practical benefits for those affected by this condition.
