Empowering menopausal women to adopt climate-adaptive health behaviors and reduce climate-sensitive health outcomes: an IMB model-based quasi-experimental study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Climate change poses increasing health risks for menopausal women. Therefore, evidence-based behavioral models are needed to enhance their knowledge, motivation, and skills to support climate-resilient health behaviors. Aim: This study aimed to examine the effect of the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model on empowering menopausal women and improving perceived climate-sensitive menopausal health outcomes. Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group time-series design (pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up) was used. The study was conducted at the administrative building of Benha University Hospital. A purposive sample of 58 menopausal women was recruited according to inclusion criteria. Data were collected using four tools: a structured socio-demographic and environmental health awareness questionnaire, an environmental motivation scale, a climate change health protection behaviors scale, and a perceived climate-sensitive menopausal health outcomes questionnaire. Repeated-measures ANOVA was used for analysis, and effect sizes were reported using partial eta squared (η Results: The findings revealed statistically significant improvements in menopausal women's environmental awareness, motivation, climate change health protection behaviors, and perceived menopausal health outcomes across pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up phases ( Conclusion: The IMB model was associated with improvements in menopausal women's awareness, motivation, and protective behaviors, as well as improvements in perceived health outcomes over time. However, due to the quasi-experimental design and absence of a control group, causal inferences cannot be established. The findings support the potential value of integrating the IMB model into nursing and multidisciplinary health education strategies, particularly in climate-vulnerable populations of menopausal women.
