Including health related behaviours

Background

The research unit of the Jean Hailes Foundation for Women’s Health is doing a research project on emotional wellbeing, attitudes and beliefs about health in women with premature menopause.  

Women aged between 20-41 years who have experienced:

• Premature ovarian failure (spontaneous stopping of the ovaries)
• Surgically induced menopause (removal of the ovaries through surgery)
• Chemically induced menopause (through chemotherapy for cancer for example)
• Controls (women aged 20-41 who have not had a premature menopause)

Information for this study will be collected using mailed anonymous and confidential questionnaires that will ask questions about symptoms of menopause, mood, body image, health beliefs, the journey to diagnosis and sexual function.
