Menopause Research Studies
for women 40 - 55
JOIN ONE OF TWO UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE STUDIES
FOR HEALTHY WOMEN 40 – 55
WHO ARE IN VARIOUS STAGES OF THE MENOPAUSAL TRANSITION
Researchers at the University of Delaware are conducting two research studies for healthy women age 40 to 55 in various stages of menopause.
The purpose of this study is to understand how changing estrogen levels affect women’s blood vessel function through the stages of menopause.
Interested individuals in the age range can fill out the interest form and will be contacted by the lab to set up an initial health screening at the University of Delaware to see if they are qualified to participate in one of the two menopause research studies.
