This is one in a series of booklets prepared by the Calgary-based Vocational and Rehabilitation Research Institute (VRRI), an agency that helps people with disabilities as well as the community at large.

The authors provide definitions and pronunciations for a variety of terms that are relevant to a discussion of menopause. The list includes parts of the body, along with terms like hormone replacement therapy, alternative treatment, and hot flashes.

This document would be especially useful in conjunction with another VRRI publication, “Menopause: What to do if you have problems.”

VRRI is now called Vecova Centre for Disability Services and Research (Vecova): http://vecova.ca/.
