Abstract
The Society for Menstrual Cycle Research and the College of New Rochelle are sponsoring an interdisciplinary research conference on menarche, to be held June 12-13, 1981, at the College of New Rochelle. The aims of the conference are: (1) to bring together scientists and scholars from a variety of disciplines who have studied the onset of menstruation and to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of their work; (2) to identify gaps in knowledge about menarche and to refine research direction and methodology; (3) to apprise those working with adolescents in health care and educational settings about new research and the role of menarche in young women's lives; (4) to publish and distribute the proceedings of the conference. Menarche will be considered from a sociocultural and a biological perspective. For further information, contact: Dr. Sharon Golub, Conference Director, College of New Rochelle, New Rochelle, NY 10801.
