Research summary

Janet S. Carpenter studies women's health during and after menopause, with particular attention to bothersome symptoms such as hot flashes (vasomotor symptoms) and heart palpitations. A major focus is on the experiences of women going through menopause and of breast cancer survivors, including how symptoms are measured, reported, and treated without hormones. Her work also touches on related areas like menstrual pain, sleep, and pain in nursing home residents.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
