Abstract

My doctoral research aimed to explore Pakistani, urban, Muslim midlife women's experiences of menopause and to acquire a deeper understanding of menopause and associated management strategies. Focused ethnography methodology was used as it guides and informs an understanding of the experiential knowledge of midlife women in a specific cultural context.
