The Dimensional Affective Sensitivity to Hormones across the Menstrual Cycle (DASH-MC) reflects growing evidence that these effects are driven by distinct forms of altered neural reactivity to normal hormone flux. New methods such as scaling data across the menstrual cycle and applying generalized additive mixture models and smoothing mixture models allow us to assess and visualize potential subgroups in menstrual cycle effects on symptoms. Dr. Peters will present preliminary findings.
