Book excerpt: "This study was designed to examine the relationship between the amount and type of preparation women had prior to beginning menstruation and current attitudes towards menstruation (using the Menstrual Attitude Questionnaire). In addition to completing surveys on these measures, college females were also asked to answer an open-ended prompt that asked them to describe their memory of their first period. Past research suggests that girls who are more prepared for the menstruation have more positive attitudes (Koff, Rierdan, & Sheingold, 1982). Results of the study suggest that the degree of preparation about biological aspects of menstruation is an important part of adequate preparation. Age at menarche and current menstrual attitude were also measured, and were not found to be significantly related"--Abstract.
