(NFPE-AG) as part of its fanner Women's Heath and Development Programme (WHOP) to
increase basic literacy and nwneracy skills as well as awareness on reproductive health, nutrition
and social issues. The first phase of .NFPE-AG was started in September 1991 through 1000
schools in 10 thanas of WHDP and ended in August 1993. This study was undertaken to assess
the level of knowledge retained vis-a-vis practices ofNFPE-AG graduates regarding menstruation.
A total of 30 fonner NFPE-AG schools (closed 2 years back) were selected from 6 WIIDP
areas (5 schools from each area). From each schooL 7 NFPE-AG graduates aged 15-19 years who
did not continue their study in fonnal schools after graduation were selected. Seven other girls
aged 15-19 years with no schooling (NS-AG) were selected from the adjacent villages of each
fanner NFPE-AG school as comparison group. Thus, a total of 420 adolescent girls (210 from
each group) were interviewed in January 1996. | en_US |
