Uncovering gaps in management of vasomotor symptoms: findings from a national need assessment

By JOM Staff

01.11.25

This national needs assessment study explores the knowledge, attitude, beliefs, and practices (KABP) gaps related to vasomotor symptoms (VMS) associated with menopause among primary care and OB/GYN clinicians. VMS significantly impacts healthcare costs, workplace productivity, and patient psychosocial health, but a notable disconnect exists between healthcare providers and patients, with provider reticence and knowledge gaps playing a contributing role.
