    OMB No. 0990-NEW--Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health--
Office on Women's Health.
    Abstract: The Office on Women's Health (OWH) in the U.S. Department 
of Health and Human Services (HHS) is proposing a data collection 
activity for four months, beginning in December 2021 or January 2022. 
The objective of the federal data collection is to document the usage 
of, type, preference, cost and frequency of use for different menstrual 
products among women. The survey will collect information on the 
preferences of menstrual products among adult women (over age 18) of 
reproductive age in the United States. The proposed collection will 
include an online survey of women ages 18-50 years who still experience 
menstrual cycles.
    The data collection efforts will provide information on access and 
barriers to adequate menstrual products among women of all income 
levels, racial, ethnic, language and cultural backgrounds in diverse 
geographic areas within the U.S. The proposed survey will identify 
preferences regarding menstrual products for women; describe their 
demographic and socioeconomic status, and preferences; describe their 
usage; identify their special needs; identify the gaps in products 
available to them; and identify barriers to adequate menstrual 
products. OWH will share information gleaned from this study with 
policymakers, Congress, general media and HHS program staff to inform 
future initiatives and policies regarding menstrual health.
