# How much do teenage girls know about premenstrual syndrome?

Most teenage girls in this school did not know much about PMS. About 53% had low awareness.

 Early or limited evidence

236 teenage girls at a school in Nepal

## What they did

236 teenage girls at one school in Nepal filled out a questionnaire about what they knew regarding premenstrual syndrome.

## What they found

53.4% of the girls had low awareness of PMS. Whether a girl's mother worked was linked to how much the girl knew about PMS.

## What it means for you

Many teenage girls don't know about PMS, so schools could help by teaching girls what to expect and how to manage symptoms. The main limit is this was only one school in Nepal, so results may differ in other places.
