Interventions

  • Tailored Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Menopause — BEHAVIORAL
    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Menopause (CBT-Meno) is an evidenced-based intervention that includes psychoeducation, cognitive, and behavioral strategies for coping with common menopause symptoms and experiences. In Aims 1 and 2, CBT-Meno materials and procedures will be tailored for women Veterans through an iterative process involving: a) data from preliminary studies and a pre-pilot trial; b) input from content area experts; and c) stakeholder advisory panels. This tailored version of CBT-Meno will then be test in this clinical trial.

Study Details

Women are the fastest-growing group of U.S. Veterans. Over half of those using VA care are 45 or older, with more age-related health concerns than civilian women. The VA urgently needs gender-informed strategies to ensure women Veterans receive tailored care that addresses their intersecting mental, physical, and age related health concerns, as well as gender-linked stressors. One prominent example is menopause, a health transition period that, for many women, can be associated with negative physical and mental health concerns that can worsen their functioning and quality of life. This project will: (1) integrate stakeholder feedback to tailor Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Menopause (CBT-Meno) for women Veterans with menopause concerns; and (2) refine and evaluate tailored CBT-Meno as a treatment to address these intersecting needs in a clinical trial.
