The population is people living with dementia, the caregivers of people living with dementia, and the care team of people living with dementia. Aside from condition, this review is not specific to any age, sex, ethnicity, or other demographic variables.

The population participants of this scoping review will include young homeless women aged 14-24 years of age. Menstrual health and menstrual hygiene care are an important sexual and reproductive healthcare issue across the globe, especially among society's most marginalised female populations. In spite of this, how young homeless women experience menstrual health and menstrual hygiene care in High Income Countries (HIC) remains an under-acknowledged and under-represented challenge. Moreover, there is no conceptual clarity on the experiences of menstrual health and menstrual hygiene care in HIC amongst any age group of females in the current literature. In this systematic scoping review, young homeless women of HIC will be of priority. |
