Abstract in brief
This study explores how not being able to afford menstrual products (period poverty) is linked to mental health issues, specifically depression, among college women in the U.S.
About 14% of the women surveyed experienced period poverty in the past year, with 10% experiencing it monthly; those with frequent (monthly) period poverty are more likely to suffer from moderate to severe depression.
The findings highlight the need for better access to affordable menstrual products to help improve mental wellbeing among young women facing financial barriers.]
