Qualitative Enquiry into Women's Views of the Specialist Menopause Service in Dundee and Media Coverage of Hormone Replacement Therapy

Abstract

A qualitative study was undertaken via a questionnaire in a specialist menopause clinic in Dundee, to assess patient views of the service, their opinion of media coverage of hormone replacement therapy and whether their visit helped them reach an informed decision about using it. All women felt that they were given enough information and their concerns were addressed. Only 11% (3/28) of the women sampled viewed media coverage in a positive light.
