This goal of this study is to understand how menopause is experienced by women who have spinal cord injuries. Findings will help women with spinal cord injury and their healthcare providers better understand unique health risks and allow them to maximize their health during menopause.

Participants will complete 4 surveys about their health and emotional wellbeing.

The study lasts 3 years and participants can earn up to $160.
