Menstruation is still regarded as something unclean in many parts of Ethiopia. Despite the challenges related to menstrual hygiene management, it has been routinely overlooked in the school setting. The existing evidence on menstrual hygiene management lacks objective measurement approaches. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess factors affecting menstrual hygiene management practice among school adolescents in Ambo, Western Ethiopia.
