Challenges faced by adolescent girls on Menstrual Hygiene Management: School-based study, Siha, Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
<p><span>Menstrual hygiene management (MHM) has received increasing attention as a public health issue globally. Governments and stakeholders have started to engage communities to address barriers and challenges faced by adolescents in and out of school. </span><span>This study, conducted in Siha District, northern Tanzania, responds to the call for evidence sensitive to local barriers and challenges to inform successful strategies in MHM. </span></p> <p><strong><span>Methods:</span></strong></p> <p><span>Institutional-based cross-sectional study which involved 400 school girls aged 10 to 19 years old who attained menarche were randomly selected in four secondary and advanced level government schools from September 2019 to January 2020. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis were employed. A P-value less than 0.05 was used to declare statistical significance.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Results:</span></strong></p> <p><span>Among all the girls who participated in the study 30% reported missing school due to menstruation while 56% of the girls reported using toilets as changing places at school. The use of reusable sanitary material was 52% compared with non-reusable materials which was 48%. In urban areas, 34.5% of students reported missing school due to menstruation compared to 25% who reported in rural areas. The findings show that school absenteeism among adolescent girls during menstruation is significantly associated with a headache (Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 3.3 (95% CI:1.32 – 8.23)) and abdominal waist pain (AOR = 8.50 (95% CI: 6.27 – 15.56)),</span> <span>lack of changing rooms in school (AOR = 5.85 (95% CI: 4.82 – 7.93)). In addition, the high cost of sanitary pads was mentioned as one of the main reasons for students not using sanitary pads.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Conclusion:</span></strong></p> <p><span>This study calls for promoting MHM-friendly practices in schools to create a supportive and conducive learning environment for adolescent girls. Ongoing school infrastructure improvements such as the construction of classrooms and toilets in schools should include the construction of proper changing places to reduce the number of adolescent girls who miss school due to menstruation. </span></p> <p><span> </span></p>
Fast-food consumption by adolescent girls may sow the seeds of breast cancer decades later
<p>An hypothesis of breast cancer development:</p> <p>•Breast development occurs largely during the years of puberty in adolescent girls</p> <p>•Environmental assaults during that vulnerable time window can seed changes that take decades to complete</p> <p>•Advanced glycation end-products (AGE) are found in high concentrations in processed foods, especially fast-food</p> <p>•In mice, AGE produce pubertal breast changes in both epithelium and stroma, including atypical hyperplasia</p> <p>•The stromal changes in humans may be manifest as increased breast density as measured by mammography</p> <p>•These data provide a link between processed, fast-food, high breast density, and future breast cancer</p> <p>•Breast cancer prevention may include the avoidance of fast-food, especially in adolescent girls undergoing pubertal breast development</p>

Risky sexual behaviours and utilization of HIV testing services among the adolescent girls and young women aged between 15-24 years in Kibra Sub County, Nairobi County, Kenya
<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>HIV remains a significant global health challenge, disproportionately affecting adolescent girls and young women (AGYW). HIV testing is crucial in controlling the infection and reducing its prevalence. Understanding risky sexual behaviors among AGYW is pivotal in aligning prevention interventions. Despite global prevention efforts, testing gaps persist among AGYW, linked to risky sexual behavior (RSB). This study explores the association between these behaviors and HIV testing utilization among AGYW (aged 15-24) in Kibra Sub County, Nairobi.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>A cross-sectional study sampled 379 AGYW from three wards in Kibra Sub County in Nairobi County. To be an eligible participant, one must have been a resident for at least one year before the time of the study and aged between 15-24 years, employing standardized structured interviewer-administered questionnaires and statistical analyses. Results were analyzed using Chi-square tests and logistic regression. Data was collected between June to July 2023.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Overall, HIV testing prevalence was 60.7% (n=230). Those aged 20-24 were 71.3% (n=164), with secondary education were 63.5% (n=146) and married 28.7% (66) were more likely to undergo testing. Participants engaging in risky behaviors such as lack of condom use (3.96 times more likely), experiencing gender-based violence (4.65 times more likely), or contracting STIs (2.85 times more likely) had higher odds of seeking HIV testing services.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study establishes a clear link between risky sexual behaviors and HIV testing among AGYW, with a 60.7% testing prevalence; however, gaps still exist. Efforts to enhance testing rates are vital. Interventions should align with acceptable methods, focusing on this high-risk group to ensure effective HIV care and prevention.</p>
