Abstract

This study aims to describe the profiles of people registered in the Menstrual Dignity program and the Family Health Units (USFs) to which these people are assigned in the municipality of São Carlos, SP. This is a descriptive, quantitative study that will use anonymized secondary data from the program's records. Sociodemographic variables such as age, race/color, education, working conditions, and social vulnerability will be analyzed, in addition to the distribution of beneficiaries by USF territory. The descriptive analysis will be performed using frequencies, measures of central tendency, and cross-tabulation of data, seeking to identify patterns and territorial inequalities related to menstrual health. The results will be used for a situational diagnosis of the beneficiary population and the areas of greatest demand in the municipality. (AU)
