Youth insights on menstrual health and hygiene in Burkina Faso; a comparison of written versus spoken qualitative text
Understanding girls’ lived experiences with menstruation is essential yet can be challenging given the taboo nature of the topic. While diaries have not previously been employed as a data collection method among girls in this setting, the use of diaries could generate unique insights due to their private, reflective, and participant-led nature. Our study aimed to explore the menstrual health and hygiene experiences of schoolgirls in Burkina Faso,…
A pre-post pilot study with and without subsidy to promote improved backyard poultry-raising practices to reduce exposure to poultry and poultry feces in rural Bangladesh
Backyard poultry raising is common in rural Bangladesh and many households keep their poultry inside their houses at night. Compared to keeping poultry outside in sheds at night, this practice likely elevates children’s exposure to poultry and poultry feces and associated enteric pathogens. We conducted a two-arm (subsidy and non-subsidy) pre-post pilot study. Households in both arms received the behavior change communication and counseling inter…
Women's Health and Empowerment for Sustainable Development
This paper aims to explore a research gap at the intersection of public health and empowerment literatures concerned with women's health‐related sanitation experiences and their sanitation‐specific agency. We shift focus from prevalent scholarly engagement with women's wellbeing as an outcome of their agency by asking an unexplored question in the opposite direction: what is the association between women's physical and mental health‐related sanit…
Heavy menstrual bleeding and association with menstruation-specific resources
Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), clinically defined as excessive menstrual blood loss which interferes with a woman's physical, emotional, social, and/or material quality of life, is a highly prevalent yet understudied global health problem. This cross-sectional study examines associations between HMB and menstruation-related resources, to understand factors that may contribute to HMB. We conducted secondary analyses of household survey data colle…
Knowledge, attitudes, and support of women's menstrual experiences
Effectiveness of interventions to improve drinking water, sanitation, and handwashing with soap on risk of diarrhoeal disease in children in low-income and middle-income settings
Determinants of food preparation and hygiene practices among caregivers of children under two in Western Kenya
Food hygiene is an underexplored, but potentially critical, behavior to mitigate fecal pathogen exposure for young children. Our study revealed several knowledge and opportunity barriers that could be integrated into interventions to enhance food hygiene
Design of a parallel cluster-randomized trial assessing the impact of a demand-side sanitation and hygiene intervention on sustained behavior change and mental well-being in rural and peri-urban Amhar…
This trial was registered with clinicaltrials.gov ( NCT03075436 ) on March 9, 2017
Physical, Social, and Political Inequities Constraining Girls’ Menstrual Management at Schools in Informal Settlements of Nairobi, Kenya
Access to adequate water and sanitation is limited in informal settlements, contributing to girls' challenges managing menstruation at school, especially when they cannot access materials to absorb menstrual blood and appropriate facilities for hygiene. This study documents differences between girls' experience of menstruation at public schools (where the Kenyan government provides menstrual pads) and private schools (where pads are not provided)…
A Time for Global Action
There is an absence of guidance, facilities, and materials for schoolgirls to manage their menstruation in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs).
'The girl with her period is the one to hang her head' Reflections on menstrual management among schoolgirls in rural Kenya
BACKGROUND: The onset of menstruation is a landmark event in the life of a young woman. Yet the complications and challenges that can accompany such an event have been understudied, specifically in resource-poor settings. As interventions aim to improve female attendance in schools, it is important to explore how menstruation is perceived and navigated by girls in the school setting. This research conveys rural Kenyan schoolgirls' perceptions and…
