P2P Workshop Day 2: Advancing Research to Improve Health During the Menopausal Transition

This three-day NIH Pathways to Prevention (P2P) workshop brought together federal agencies, researchers, and community members to understand the current state of the science related to the menopausal transition and identify research gaps. Day 2 continues the exploration of key questions about the effectiveness, comparative effectiveness, and potential harms of menopausal treatments, as well as healthy aging in women. Menopause is a normal phase of life involving the permanent end of menstrual cycling. However, the experience is different for everyone. Symptoms leading up to menopause vary and can include (but are not limited to) hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and cognitive and mood changes. During the menopause transition, some people may experience severe symptoms that affect their quality of life, but few receive treatment that effectively provides symptom relief. Many health care providers report uncertainty about the best approaches to evaluating and managing menopausal symptoms. Learn more about the workshop: https://prevention.nih.gov/research-p...
