Menstrual disorders are common in adolescence and can have significant consequences on future reproductive health.

The results of this study support screening for menstrual irregularity, obesity and signs of clinical hyperandrogenism for early diagnosis of PCOS in an effort to improve the reproductive health of adolescent girls.

Results pointed out the need for introducing reproductive and sexual education in the school setting. Only 1.1% of parents and 5.2% teachers actually discussed sexual aspects with adolescents which highlights the need for parent and teacher awareness programs before ARSHE is introduced in the schools.

Low-intensity, home-based EI can be effectively used in situations where there is paucity of disability resources in countries like India, especially in primary-care and community settings.
