Women's views on the menopause and hormone replacement therapy were explored using a questionnaire given to women attending one general practice who were having hormone replacement therapy under the supervision of their doctor. Sixty four women (67%) responded. Although only 5% of women had requested hormone replacement therapy from their general practitioner the majority of women indicated that they had been helped by hormone replacement therapy. Eight per cent of women were using hormone replacement therapy primarily to treat menopausal symptoms with only 6% of women using it primarily as prophylaxis against osteoporosis. Many women were correctly informed about the effects of hormone replacement therapy but mistaken beliefs about its side effects may indicate the need for further health education. The desire for further information was striking: 59% of women wanted further information about hormone replacement therapy, and 80% of women would have liked to have had more information about the menopause before its onset. The media appeared to be an important source of information about health matters: 61% of women obtained information about hormone replacement therapy from either the television, magazines or newspapers. The role of the media and health workers in health education is discussed.
