Taboos about menstruation and lack of menstrual health awareness are important contributors to poor understanding of menstrual health. Menstrual health education in schools is a meaningful tool to address taboos and lack of awareness about menstrual health—a randomized controlled trial conducted by researchers at the University of British Columbia found that when Grade 8 to 12 students of all genders participate in a one hour menstrual health education program, their knowledge about menstrual health increases and their attitudes about menstruation become more positive. The results suggest that menstrual health education works, and is acceptable to students and their guardians. Moreover, the results indicate that educating all students—not just those who will menstruate—may help destigmatize menstruation at the societal level. To support educators seeking to integrate menstrual health, The Endometriosis Network Canada has developed a free curriculum enrichment resource What you need to know. Period. which includes a workbook for teens and youth aged 8 to 18 and facilitator training. To learn more and bring the program to your school, contact: outreach@endometriosisnetwork.ca.
