Research Interest and Projects
Dr. Harlow has developed analytical approaches for the analysis of menstrual cycle data and conducted several studies which couple the maintenance of a menstrual diary over an extended period of time with frequent measurement of risk factors in various population cohorts. She has defined a lifespan approach to understanding the variability in menstrual function throughout the reproductive lifecourse, presented evidence of the growing impact of menstrual dysfunction in developing countries on women’s health and daily functioning and articulated the importance of addressing menstrual dysfunction in reproductive health programs. Currently she is PI of a multi-study collaboration (The ReSTAGE Collaboration) evaluating protocols for staging reproductive aging using menstrual and endocrine markers (AG 021543) and she is PI of a study of secular change in menstrual functions (HD055524). Dr. Harlow is also co-PI for the Michigan site of the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation (SWAN), a multi-site longitudinal study of health of women as they transition through the midlife and co-Investigator on a population-based study of vulvadynia (HD054767).
