Background: Menstruation is generally considered unclean in the Indian society though its a physiological process indicating beginning of reproductive life. Several prohibitions and the negative attitude of parents in discussing the related issues openly have blocked the access of adolescent girls to the right kind of information. Various studies indicate that a huge information gap exists among rural and urban adolescent girls regarding menstrual hygiene. The data about the level of knowledge and practices which are followed by them with respect to menses are beneficial in planning a program for improving the awareness level with respect to their quality of life.
