Summary

This study looked at whether a tailored education program could help adolescent girls living in a container settlement after an earthquake improve their genital hygiene behaviors and menstrual experiences. Sixty-eight girls aged 14-18 took part in two 2-hour sessions covering anatomy, hygiene, and menstrual care. Researchers measured changes using questionnaires before, right after, and three months later.
