This study involves an online survey and optional online workshop. We want to learn about the questions people with spinal cord injuries/disorders (SCI/D) and healthcare professionals have about perimenopause and menopause. This study will help determine the priority areas for research, care and education for persons with SCI/D during perimenopause and menopause.
Why should you participate?
We hope that the new knowledge we obtain from this study can be used in the future to help inform clinical practices, future research agendas and knowledge translation efforts in perimenopause/menopause care for people with SCI.
