Participants sought: Anxiety in perimenopausal women - what factors increase it?

Women have double the risk of developing mood disturbances compared to men and perimenopause is the time of greatest vulnerability of developing mood disturbances such as anxiety. The aim of this study is to investigate factors that increase the risk of anxiety during perimenopause. If you are interested in taking part in this study for either the mood disturbance or control group, please contact Cindy Zahrany: cgzah1@student.monash.edu or Emmy Gavrilidis: 9076 6913 or emmy.gavrilidis@monash.edu

Participants sought: Contraceptive experiences of women with psychosis

Every woman has individual views on and attitudes to contraception. MAPrc researchers are interested in looking at the issues faced by women with diagnosed #schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, and how these may differ from issues faced by women with no mental illness diagnosis. The study involves a one-off interview taking from between 45 to 90 minutes. We are looking for women aged between 19 and 40 years, who have either a diagnosis of schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder or no mental illness (for the control group) and have used some form of contraception in the last 12 months. If you are willing to share your experiences with contraceptive use please contact Georgia Walter for more information. Email: gawal5@student.monash.edu Ph: (03) 9076 6564 Study page link
