Description
About the Research
What do you know about menstrual health and periods? How does menstrual health affect someone’s daily life?
We want to understand:
- What does our student population know about menstrual health and periods
- Do stigma, knowledge gaps and levels of support around menstrual wellbeing influence students’ abilities to engage with their studies at The University of Manchester.
We would like to hear from all students, regardless of your gender, whether you experience periods, or whether you are an undergraduate or postgraduate student.

You can take part if:
- You are currently a student (undergraduate or graduate) at the University of Manchester
