Though some published information is available for Caucasian women, systematic material about menopause in Asian and Chinese women is lacking. Misconceptions and myths concerning women's health during menopausal transition abound. Many women do not know where to seek help and obtain relevant information on menopausal health. The Centre of Research and Promotion of Women's Health of The Chinese University of Hong Kong has published a booklet called Confidence for the Crossroads that provides useful information on menopause and services for women's health. The booklet also includes interviews of women who have made significant contributions to promoting women's health, a check-list for assessment of menopausal health, as well as tips for health promotion and maintenance for women in mid-life. You can now obtain this booklet for free.
