Purpose of Study

The purpose of this study is to examine the health experiences of women in midlife, with particular focus on menopause. The study will investigate: the impacts of menopausal symptoms on quality of life and daily living, including caregiving responsibilities and workforce participation and productivity; the health-seeking experiences and behaviours of midlife women to treat menopause symptoms; and the barriers to obtaining care to address symptoms, as well as satisfaction of care received.

The study requires participants to complete an online survey that will take approximately 30-45 minutes. Take the survey on the Women's Health Research Institute website.

You may be eligible to participate in this study if you:

  • are between the ages of 39 to 60
