One goal of The North American Menopause Society is to publish position statements (formerly called consensus opinions) about clinical issues. These manuscripts are published in the Society's journal, Menopause, and are available for viewing and downloading in their entirety from this site free of charge. They are also available from NAMS in hard copy for a modest fee by using this Order Form. The following list provides a PDF of each paper along with its related press release. Some offer CME hours, and some provide a set of slides summarizing the paper’s contents. You need PowerPoint software to download the slide sets.
To learn more about how NAMS creates its position statements, read the editorial, "The North American Menopause Society Develops Consensus Opinions" -- Menopause 1998;5:67-68 .
