Menstrual health is an important aspect of women’s reproductive health that is often misunderstood and undervalued in certain rural communities. This thesis project evaluates the key determinants in various communities that have negatively affected menstrual hygiene management in adolescent girls. A thorough review of existing menstrual health interventions is completed to research reproductive outcomes. Unfortunately, sufficient research is often scarce due to the taboo nature of menstruation in rural communities and certain cultures. Thus, a project design consisting of an educational intervention is proposed in hopes of improving the understanding and attitudes toward menstrual hygiene management in adolescent girls living in rural communities where menstruation is not openly discussed. Menstrual hygiene is an important aspect that should continue to be discussed and researched thoroughly as it is a vital part of global health.
