"Dear school nurses and health professionals,

Hello, my name is Ila Eisenstein. I am an AP Research student at West Essex High School. I am conducting a study on the effects of period poverty on the menstrual health of high school students; the goal of it is to understand the effect of period poverty on menstrual health and to understand the correlation between the two. This will allow researchers to better understand menstrual health in terms of period poverty and can lead to future policy improvements.

This study is completely anonymous and voluntary; however, your participation is highly encouraged. This study consists of an online survey with mostly multiple-choice questions and three optional open-ended questions. The online survey will take 10-15 minutes to complete.

Thank you for your time.
