Menopause and Work (MAWQ)
The Menopause & Work questionnaire is an additional assessment among female Lifelines participants aged 40 to 67 years with a paid job.
The digital questionnaire was developed at the initiative of the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment.
The goal of this assessment was to get insight into the prevalence of (various) menopausal symptoms in working women and into menopausal symptoms associated with negative work-related outcomes.
The questionnaire contained all or some questions from the following instruments:
- Greene Climacteric Scale (GCS) (menopausal symptoms)
- Work Ability Index (WAI) (1 item)
- Health and Work Performance (HPQ) (2 items)
- Need for recovery scale (VBBA) (11 items)
- Quality of Life (RAND) (1 item)
The MAWQ data can be requested through the lifelines data catalogue (assessment mawq).
Protocol & response
The digital questionnaire was sent out between May 10th and May 21st 2021.
~34,000 female Lifelines participants between 40 and 67 years old received the questionnaire, of which ~15,000 participants (44%) responded.
