Mental Health and Menopause among Women in North Carolina: An Analysis of Electronic Health Records Project Lead: Emily Cherenack, PhD

Project overview

This project aims to better understand the link between mental health and the menopause transition in North Carolina. Using electronic health records from The Duke University Health System, we will examine patterns of diagnosis and treatment utilization among women with certain mental health conditions during menopause transition. The study will describe who is most likely to be diagnosed with these overlapping conditions, what treatments they receive within the health system, and where care gaps exist.
