New toolkit aims to improve menopause care for women from minority ethnic communities

Article excerpt

Researchers at the University of Liverpool have created a toolkit designed to help healthcare professionals deliver menopause care that's tailored to women from minority ethnic backgrounds. The work, published in The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynaecology & Women's Health, builds on a research project that examined how Black and Chinese women in the U.K. experience menopause. The toolkit aims to bridge a gap in culturally informed care by addressing the distinct health needs and perspectives of these communities. By incorporating findings from these lived experiences, the resource seeks to improve how medical professionals support menopause patients across different ethnic groups.
