Knowledge, attitude and practice regarding menstrual hygiene among secondary level students
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background & Objectives: Menstrual hygiene is an integral aspect of health and wellbeing of adolescent girls. However, effective management to improve menstrual health remain scarce which is evidence by widespread lack of knowledge and unhealthy practice. The objective of this study was to find out knowledge, attitude and practice related to menstrual hygiene among secondary level students in Janakpur, Nepal. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study design was used in secondary level girls of Shree Laxminiya Janata Secondary School of Dhanusha district studying in grade 9,10,11, & 12. A self -administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data by using total enumerative method. All together 210 students are taking part and entire students fill the form. Descriptive (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (chi-square test) was used. Results: The study revealed that 52.86%of the respondents had good level of knowledge regarding menstrual hygiene. It also showed that 53.33% had favorable attitude regarding menstrual hygiene. Similarly, 54.77% of the respondents had good practice regarding menstrual hygiene. Family income p=0.001), grade (p=0.03), age (p=0.007), mother education status (p= 0.003), family occupation (p=0.001), family income (p=0.012) was statistically significant with level of knowledge, and attitude regarding menstrual hygiene. There was statistically significant between level of practice regarding menstrual hygiene and grade (p=0.002) and family income (p=0.004). There was also statistically significant association between respondent knowledge and practice p=0.045 and also statistically significant association between respondent knowledge and attitude p=0.0002. Conclusion: Significant portion of students demonstrated a good understanding of menstrual hygiene, some still lack sufficient knowledge, although their practice is not poor. It is recommended that concerned authority to conduct awareness program regarding menstrual hygiene so that it helps to generate knowledge.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
