Research Project
Should you take a menstruation vacation?
I’d like to know what you think!
Recently new birth control pills that let women skip their monthly periods have become available in Canada. My PhD research involves looking at how women experience their periods and this idea that they can choose to opt out these days.
I am gathering small groups of women together to talk about menstruating and this issue of ‘menstruation by choice’. You don’t have to know about the new pills or be taking them to participate; nor do you need to have a clear position on the issue. You are welcome to get involved on your own, or you can bring some friends. I am interested in hearing about a range of women’s experiences and what different individuals have to say. Participation in the study involves one focus group interview session and the completion of a brief questionnaire.
If you are between the ages of 18 and 25, and think you might be interested in my project, please contact me for more information.
