Course Evaluation and Outcome Questionnaires

Participants in the Menopause Masters® Academy may be invited to complete starting and end-of-programme questionnaires, referred to as T0 and T1. These questionnaires are delivered through Microsoft Forms and may include self-reported information about menopause-related experiences, psychological wellbeing, confidence, knowledge and day-to-day functioning.

Some questionnaire responses may constitute special-category health data. Participation in the evaluation is voluntary, and this information is processed with the participant’s consent and explicit consent where required.

Participants create a private matching code so that their T0 and T1 responses can be compared without using their name. Participants are instructed not to enter their name, initials, date of birth, postcode, employer or other identifying information. Microsoft Forms is configured not to automatically collect respondents’ names or email addresses.

Questionnaire responses are used to:

• allow participants to reflect on their self-reported progress;
• evaluate and improve the programme;
• examine programme feasibility and user experience; and
• produce anonymised, aggregate outcome reporting where appropriate.

Employers do not receive individual questionnaire responses or personal progress information. Any agreed corporate reporting uses matched, anonymised aggregate information, ordinarily only where there are at least ten matched participants and after disclosure-risk checks. Detailed reporting will not be produced where these safeguards cannot be met.

Questionnaire responses are not monitored in real time and are not used to provide diagnosis, individual therapy, medical advice, crisis support or automated treatment decisions. Participants requiring medical, psychological or urgent support should contact an appropriate healthcare professional or emergency service.

Access to the evaluation data is restricted to authorised persons involved in programme administration and evaluation. Responses are retained only for as long as necessary for evaluation, legal and professional purposes, after which they are securely deleted or anonymised.

A participant who wishes to ask about their evaluation information or withdraw a response should contact karen@menopause-masters.co.uk and provide their private participant code where available. It may not be possible to identify or remove a response after it has been fully anonymised and incorporated into aggregate analysis.
