Abstract

This study evaluates the impact of an educational intervention on the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) related to menstrual health and hygiene among adolescent girls in Lucknow, India. A quasi-experimental design was employed with 300 participants divided into treatment and control groups. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted. Statistical analyses, including t-tests and chi-square tests, demonstrated significant improvements in the knowledge, attitude, and some practices in the treatment group post-intervention. The study underscores the importance of structured, sustained educational efforts in improving menstrual hygiene management among adolescent girls.
