Summary

This study examined the effectiveness of a new cognitive-behavioural therapy for menopausal symptoms (CBT-Meno). Half of participants were randomly assigned to the 12-week CBT-Meno program and half to a 12-week waitlist. Common menopause symptoms (i.e., hot flashes/night sweats, depression, anxiety, poor sleep, and sexual concerns) were assessed at baseline, 12-weeks post-baseline, and (for women in the CBT-Meno condition) at 3-month follow-up.
