Anonymized Focus Group Discussion Transcripts from Powwer Health Study

These anonymized transcripts come from four focus group discussions (FGDs) conducted with women and nine conducted with men in Kenya in 2025. The women were participants in a single arm trial assessing the impact of menstrual cups on the vaginal microbiome, BV, and STIs, and the male participants are sex partners. The FGDs assess experiences and perspectives from women on using menstrual cups, and impacts on health and finances, and sexual life. FGDs with men assesses their knowledge and awareness of menstrual cups, perceived or actual impact on their sexual life.
