Dissertation on menopause - please help!

Hi all,
I am a final year student at the University of Kent and for my dissertation I am examining associated factors and differentiating lifestyles that may influence the timing of menopause.

My plan was to contact a few menopausal support groups on Facebook and different online forums in order to gain as many responses as possible to my online survey through Google Forms.

It is completely anonymous and will take approximately 5 minutes. It would be a massive help if some of you could participate!. So far I’ve only been able to distribute it amongst my mum’s friends and I need a lot more.

The survey is completely anonymous and does not require a log in or enter any names. It has been approved following the ethics framework established by the University of Kent.

Please help me - my degree depends on it Xmas Smile
Here is the link --> goo.gl/forms/OLc24mhm2nspDlty2

Happy new year!

I tried to fill it in for you but failed at the first question!
I am perimenopausal as my periods are very erratic but have had them in last two months so I didn't fit into any category.

Sorry

Ah, I looked again after seeing others had filled it in and saw the “other” option on first question.....

Have now completed it! Will blame my confusion on menopause and too much wine 😊

Done. The questions about employment were a bit tricky. It asked about my type of employment and I put full time, permanent. It then asked how long I'd been in that role, I didn't know if it meant in a ful time job, or in the specific role I hold now.

Done. I got a bit muddled about the question about when periods stopped and last natural period. Is that the same question or did I misread it?

Also there's a fairly major question missing. I had an early menopause at 36 due to chemotherapy as a teenager. There was nowhere to include that so it looks like there's no explanation.
