The purpose of this study was to measure the effectiveness of the drill and practice method on menstrual personal hygiene behavior in teenagers with intellectual disabilities at SLB Shanti Kosala Mastrip Nganjuk. METHODS The model used in this study is quasi-experimental. quasiexperimental study twice measurements were taken, namely measuring menstrual personal hygiene behavior in students with intellectual disabilities, before and after being given menstrual personal hygiene material using the drill and practice From these two measurements, two values will be obtained, namely the initial value/pre-test (O. before being Journal for Quality in Women's Health (JQWH ) given treatment and the final value (O. where the treatment has been given, that is a treatment of giving materials menstrual personal hygiene material using the drill and practice method.
