The aim of this study was to examine the
effectiveness of a model of women’s decision-making
regarding menopausal symptoms. The publication of
results from the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) and
the rising popularity of complementary and
alternative medicine (CAM) make this an interesting
time to examine women’s increasingly complex
decision-making process. Existing models of health
behavior suggest factors that may be considered in
women’s decisions regarding management of menopausal
symptoms. The current project used survey
methodology to test the effectiveness of a proposed
model of menopausal symptom decision-making in two
groups of women: (a) women who recently had a
hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy and (b)
community women who experienced natural menopause.
Symptom severity, common sense beliefs, and social
influence were all found to play a significant role
in women’s decision-making process. These
preliminary findings represent empirical and
conceptual progress in the understanding of these
decisions, and lay the groundwork for future
research in the realm of menopausal decision-
making.
