Position Statements & Other Reports

One goal of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS) is to develop position statements and other reports about clinical issues pertinent to women at midlife and beyond. Originally published in the Society's journal Menopause, these statements are available below for viewing and downloading free of charge. They are also available from NAMS in hard copy for a modest fee by using this Order Form.

Some statements provide accompanying PowerPoint slides summarizing the paper’s contents—available free of charge only to members.

Note that when NAMS deems the information in a position statement to be out of date, it is retired and the paper is watermarked with "Retired."
