About the study
Women are at higher risk of developing oral health problems during menopause. These oral health problems can significantly affect their quality of life. However, there is currently limited evidence on the oral health knowledge, attitudes, and practices of women in perimenopause/menopause worldwide. Providing appropriate assistance during the early period of the menopausal transition could potentially reduce the prevalence of oral health problems in the perimenopausal/menopausal period and improve overall well-being in the later years.
We invite you to participate in our study (involving a survey and/or interview) which aims to explore your experience regarding oral healthcare and identify challenges in this area. The information you provide will help us identify future strategies and services that could improve oral healthcare for women in perimenopause or menopause. Participation is voluntary and the information you provide will be strictly confidential. You will be reimbursed for your time participating in an interview.
