It’s Clinical Tidbit Tuesday, and we’re taking the opportunity to promote the latest report from Mapping Menopause—a project in which Comox Physio/owner, Shannon, participated.
The Need:
Menopause is a universal life transition for individuals assigned female at birth. In Canada, women spend up to one-third to one-half of their lives in post menopause. Despite its widespread impact on health, quality of life, and workforce participation, menopause research and care remain underdeveloped. Evidence gaps, fragmented care pathways, and persistent stigma contribute to unmet needs for individuals experiencing menopause symptoms and for clinicians who support them.
The Project:
Better Aging in BC: Mapping Menopause Research Priorities was developed to address these gaps by identifying the most important unanswered research questions related to menopause in British Columbia. Led by the Women’s Health Research Institute (WHRI) in partnership with BC Women’s Hospital + Health Centre, the project convened clinicians, researchers, health system partners, and people with lived experience of menopause to co-develop a provincial Research Agenda.
The Findings:
