This problem has become even more serious with the publication of the results of the ... WHI study. As everywhere in the world, in Slovenia also has been a large decrease in usage of PHT from the year 2001 to 2003. Therefore, in order to see if we could improve the compliance with PHT, intervention in a way of lectures was made. Methods. We present the 12 month follow-up of prospective, randomized, controlled and multi centric trial, of prescribed PHT, which included 125 women and gynecologists in 6 medical regions in Slovenia.

The filled in questionnaires were sent to the head of the research who stored the gathered data into a special (Microsoft Access). From that database, the data were transferred to program for statistics (SPSS for Windows v 12.0, SPSS Inc, Illinois).
