Sponsored By: Representative Clarke, Yvette D. [D-NY-9]

Introduced

Summary

Recognizing October 2026 as World Menopause Awareness Month to boost awareness and improve access to care for women during the menopausal transition and after. The resolution would highlight health and economic impacts, promote clinician training, encourage federal agencies to share information, and call for more research.

Show full summary
  • Workers and households: It would spotlight workplace impacts where up to 40% of menopausal women report weekly interference with work and the U.S. faces about $1.8 billion a year in lost working time.
  • Racial and ethnic disparities: It notes studies showing Black and Hispanic women may experience menopause earlier, with more intense and longer symptoms, which could guide targeted outreach.
  • Health workforce: It would promote adding menopause and treatment option training to pre-service curricula so new clinicians can better screen and treat symptoms.
  • Federal agencies and research: It would encourage the Departments of Health and Human Services, Defense, and Veterans Affairs to provide information, update tools, and conduct additional research on menopause and treatments.
