The purpose of this two-year pilot project is to evaluate data collection methods and strategies for recruitment and retention of African-American and White women (ages 30-45) of low socioeconomic status (ses) for inclusion into the TREMIN Research Program on Women's Health (TREMIN) in order to examine disparities in menstrual health of aging women. Begun in 1934, TREMIN is the world's oldest longitudinal study of menstruation throughout women's lives.
