Abstract

The findings of a preliminary analysis of data from a study now being conducted to design and evaluate an educational intervention to aid women in becoming more effective decision-makers regarding menopause, self-care strategies, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), indicate that the lack of attention to the symptoms and health effects of menopause has resulted in frustration and dissatisfaction among women health care consumers. Women in the menopausal years are not informed adequately nor empowered to participate in decision making around issues related to their own health. They do not have the information they want and they do not know where to get it.
