This study examines if education, income, and medical insurance coverage are primary factors in determining whether menopausal women use hormone replacement therapy (HRT). To accomplish this purpose, the author conducted a survey of 62 women between 30 and 60 years of age. These women completed a self-administered questionnaire that provided both quantitative and qualitative information. The results suggest that these socioeconomic factors increase the likelihood that menopausal women will receive treatment with HRT. Implications for clinical practice are discussed.
本研究探讨教育程度、收入和医疗保险覆盖范围是否是决定更年期女性是否使用激素替代疗法（HRT）的主要因素。为实现这一目的，作者对62名年龄在30至60岁之间的女性进行了调查。这些女性完成了一份自行填写的问卷，该问卷提供了定量和定性信息。结果表明，这些社会经济因素增加了更年期女性接受HRT治疗的可能性。文中讨论了对临床实践的启示。
