Researchers are looking for input into menopause and cognition study to improve support.
Researchers at the University of Stirling are conducting an important study exploring how menopause-related changes in memory and concentration may connect to long-term brain health, with the aim of improving support for individuals at this stage of life.
Who can take part?
The study is looking for individuals aged 40-60 who are currently experiencing perimenopause or menopause and have noticed cognitive changes (like brain fog and concentration slips).
What does it involve?
• An online survey: Take 20-25 minutes. Everyone who completes it will be entered into a prize draw to win one of 5 x £50 amazon vouchers
• An optional interview: A voluntary, 1-to-1 interview. Participants receive a £25 Amazon voucher (plus travel reimbursement if conducted in person)
Your responses will directly contribute to research that could shape future support services for individuals navigating menopause and brain health across Scotland.
