Symptoms occurring immediately before and during menstruation are estimated to affect 30-50% of women, prompt 1.5 million physician visits annually, and interfere with labor force productivity. However, prevalence estimates of perimenstrual symptoms (PS) among adult US women are based on studies of highly selected populations. The multidimensional nature of PS is poorly specified, and a typology of PS is needed for future case-control studies of PS. Biological factors do not account for the range of PS women experience, and little is known about the influence of psychosocial factors on PS. The aims of this study are to: estimate the prevalence of PS and associated disability in a population of women residing in King County, Washington; explore the clustering of symptoms in the perimenstruum; generate a typology of PS; and assess the relative contribution of women's socialization, current social context, ethnic group, gynecological history, health practices, and general health status to a model explaining the variance in PS, related disability and illness behavior. Nine hundred menstruating women between 18 and 45 years of age from 3 ethnic groups (Black, White and Asian) will be enrolled in the study through random sampling of households within selected census tracts. Women will be interviewed regarding their feminine socialization, current social context, gynecological history, health practices and general health status. They will be instructed in keeping a 90-day health diary in which they will record symptoms, disability and illness behaviors. During a telephone interview at the end of the study, they will be asked about the PS they typically experience, will rate their PS severity and treatability, and will describe coping methods they employ for PS. Pooled and stratum specific estimates of PS prevalence will be calculated. Dimensions of PS will be identified using factor analysis. Cluster analysis of cases will be used to generate a PS typology. Relative risk of experiencing PS types, given study factors, will be calculated. Multiple regression analysis will be used to test multivariate models of PS, PS disability, and illness behavior.

估计月经前和月经期间出现的症状 影响 30-50% 的女性，每年促使 150 万人次就诊， 并干扰劳动力生产力。 然而，患病率估计 美国成年女性围经期症状 (PS) 的调查基于以下研究 高度筛选的人群。 PS的多维性较差 指定，并且未来的病例对照研究需要 PS 的类型学 的PS。 生物因素不能解释 PS 女性的范围 经验，而对心理社会因素的影响知​​之甚少 在PS上。 本研究的目的是： 估计 PS 的患病率和 居住在金县的妇女人口的相关残疾， 华盛顿；探索围经期症状的聚集； 生成 PS 类型；并评估妇女的相对贡献 社会化、当前社会背景、种族、妇科病史、 健康实践和一般健康状况的模型解释 PS、相关残疾和疾病行为的差异。 九百 来自 3 个种族的 18 至 45 岁经期女性 （黑人、白人和亚洲人）将通过随机方式参加研究 对选定的人口普查区域内的家庭进行抽样。 女性将会 接受采访，了解她们的女性社会化、当前的社会背景、 妇科病史、健康习惯和一般健康状况。 他们 将被指示保留 90 天的健康日记，其中他们将 记录症状、残疾和疾病行为。 打电话期间 研究结束时的面试，他们会被问及他们的PS 通常会经历、评估其 PS 严重程度和可治疗性，以及 将描述他们针对 PS 采取的应对方法。 合并和分层 将计算 PS 患病率的具体估计值。 PS尺寸 将通过因子分析来确定。 案例聚类分析 用于生成 PS 类型。 经历 PS 类型的相对风险， 给定研究因素，将进行计算。 多元回归分析将 用于测试 PS、PS 残疾和疾病的多变量模型 行为。
