| dc.description.abstract |
Most Indian studies on menstruation include only girls/women as participants, making it a womens topic. This exclusion of adolescent boys fails to understand menstruation as a social epidemiological entity with existing gender inequalities. For engaging boys to play a meaningful role in improving womens health, studying their knowledge, beliefs regarding topics such as menstruation and socioeconomic characteristics influencing their menstruation-related experiences need attention. Addressing this is an essential step for reducing gender disparities in adolescent health. Thus, we explore boys knowledge, beliefs and attitudes regarding menstruation and the impact of social determinants on their menstruation-related experiences. |
