about management of menstrual problems. III: Non - observational checklist on the practice of
menstrual hygiene and management of menstrual problems. IV: An interviewing questionnaire on

improvement and highly statistically significant differences in the total scores of knowledge and
practices of blind adolescent girl students regarding menstruation after the provision of the peer
