Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

Menopause is a physical, psychosocial, and cultural transition as diverse and complicated as humans themselves. Every person with ovaries who lives long enough will experience the fluctuation and decline of sex hormones, and about 80% will have symptoms likely to start earlier and be wider-ranging than expected. In this proposed project at a rural health clinic, annual screening will be offered to patients aged 35-55 years. Patient replies will result in offering resources, registered nurse consults and classes, and focused provider visits. Directly addressing perimenopause allows for anticipatory guidance and shared decision-making to improve quality of life in middle-age and beyond.
