Associations of adolescent menstrual symptoms with school absences and educational attainment: analysis of a prospective cohort study
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This longitudinal study found that teenage girls who reported heavy bleeding and menstrual pain missed more school and performed worse on their GCSE exams. The use of administrative data for absence and exam results strengthened the objectivity of the outcomes. However, the study relied on self-reported symptoms and had a significant portion of the original sample excluded due to missing data.
