# What factors affect teenage girls' behavior to prevent PMS?

This study of 130 teenage girls found that 52.3 percent showed good PMS prevention behaviors. Factors that mattered included age, knowledge, attitude, peer influence, and advice from health workers.

 Moderate study design

130 female high school students (grade 10) at a vocational school in Jakarta Timur, Indonesia

## What they did

Cross-sectional survey of 130 female high school students in grade 10 at a vocational school in Jakarta Timur. They answered questions about factors related to PMS prevention behaviors.

## What they found

Of 130 respondents, 68 (52.3 percent) showed good behavior in managing or preventing PMS. Factors significantly related to PMS prevention behavior included age, experience, economic resources, knowledge, attitude, information sources, peer influence, and the role of health workers.

## What it means for you

This study identifies several factors that influence whether teenage girls will try to prevent or manage PMS. A limitation is that this is a cross-sectional survey done in one school in Jakarta, so the results may not apply to teenagers in other areas.
