Preparing Girls for Menstruation: Recommendations from Adolescent Girls.
Koff, Elissa; Rierdan, Jill
Adolescence, v30 n120 p795-811 Win 1995
Ninth-grade girls (n=157) rated their own experience of menarche and answered 4 open-ended questions. Responses suggested several ways that early preparation could be revised, and supported a conceptualization of menstrual education as a long-term, continuous process, beginning well before menarche and continuing long after.
