5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Endometriosis is a common condition that affects 10% of females, causing chronic pain and other health concerns. Currently, it takes 8-12 years to be diagnosed with endometriosis, in part because there is low awareness of this condition. This research is designed to test whether providing endometriosis education in schools can help increase early awareness of the condition.
