ÑÇÖÞAV

New ÑÇÖÞAV study is first to examine unmet basic menstrual health needs, (often called ‘period poverty’) and associations with depression among college students. More than 14% of participants reported lack of access to menstrual products in the past year, and 10% reported period poverty every month. Women who experienced period poverty were more likely to report symptoms suggestive of moderate or severe depression.

The COVID-19 pandemic shifted thousands of jobs online, allowing employees to telework and avoid congested roadways. That’s good for slowing the spread of the virus, but new research from ÑÇÖÞAV also shows such habits could limit people’s exposure to harmful traffic pollution.

There are a number of things you could be thinking about during your commute, from the day’s agenda to what podcast to listen to. For a few ÑÇÖÞAV professors and students from the College of Health and Human Services, the Volgenau School of Engineering and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, a less common topic is front of mind: the effects of traffic pollution on women’s health.
