Student Work

Menstrual inequality and accessibility issues are a problem for students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) due to price and transportation barriers, and poor product dispenser placement. Our team assessed the existing menstrual product distribution system at WPI using cost analysis tools and conducted interviews and surveys with faculty and students to gauge demand and desirable features of product provision. Our team identified a solution, which requires a third-party subscription, by comparing alternatives using process analysis, cost benefit analysis, and a decision matrix with defined ranking criteria.
