The women ’s menopause tool: content validity of a novel assessment for menopause treatment decision making

Context: Menopause Hormonal Therapy (MHT) usage for symptomatic menopausal women (MW) continues to decrease, despite current research that suggests benefits outweigh risks for the majority. Based on literature review and interviews with gynecologists (N=22) at the International Society of Gynecology and Endocrinology (ISGE), and input from menopausal experts (N=4), a need was identified for an international tool to assess MHT benefit/risk ratios in symptomatic climacteric women to aid decisions regarding treatment.
