Menstrual Health Research for girls and young women aged 10 -19 with Down’s syndrome

Researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) with funding from the Down’s Syndrome Research Foundation UK are looking for participants to take part in research exploring the menstrual health of teenagers with Down’s syndrome in the UK.

Periods can be a confusing and challenging time for any teenager, and girls and young women with Down’s syndrome may have additional needs and experiences. To help better understand these needs the research team are conducting an anonymous (private) online survey to learn more about how girls and young women with Down’s syndrome and their families prepare for and manage their periods.

If you are the caregiver of a girl or young woman aged 10-19 with Down’s syndrome you can participate, even if they haven’t started their periods yet.

You can access the survey at this link: Menstrual Health Survey

The research team encourage participants to complete the survey on a laptop using the Google Chrome browser.
