====== Menopause and Work (MAWQ) ======
The Menopause & Work questionnaire is an [[additional assessments|additional assessment]] among female [[cohort|Lifelines]] participants aged 40 to 67 years with a paid job.\\
The digital questionnaire was developed at the initiative of the [[https://www.rivm.nl|National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM)]], commissioned by the [[https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/ministeries/ministerie-van-sociale-zaken-en-werkgelegenheid|Dutch Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment]].\\
The goal of this assessment was to get insight into the prevalence of (various) [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menopause|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: 
  * [[menopausal symptoms (GCS)|Greene Climacteric Scale (GCS)]] (menopausal symptoms)
  * [[work_ability_wai|Work Ability Index (WAI)]] (1 item)
  * [[Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (wpai)|Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI)]] (5 items)
  * [[Health and Work Performance (HPQ)]] (2 items)
  * [[Workday recovery (vbba)|Need for recovery scale (VBBA)]] (11 items)
  * [[psychosocial_work_environment_copsoq|Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ)]] (5 items)
  * [[quality_of_life_rand| Quality of Life (RAND)]] (1 item)
