Knowledge of the ovulatory cycle and its determinants among women of reproductive age in Papua New Guinea: Insights from a population-based study
In this study, less than a quarter of women had correct knowledge of the ovulatory cycle. Promoting reproductive health knowledge and awareness through educational curricula and mass media platforms could enhance women's understanding of the ovulatory cycle, particularly among younger and less educated and empower them to make informed decisions about their reproductive health.
