Here's the February 2024 Edition! If the editing is a bit weird, I fully blame Riverside, which is the artist formerly known as Spotify for Podcasters, which itself is the artist formerly known as Anchor, which gets worse every time they change it.

In this episode, we feature:

1) the Book Club: The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams; next time will be Come Together by Emily Nagoski

2) NASPAG Position Statement: Comprehensive Sexuality Education for Adolescents, Swetha Najori and Kristi Tomin

3) Social Media Videos on Contraceptive Implants: An Assessment of Video Quality and Reliability, Bengü Mutlu Sütcüoglu and Melike Güler

4) Qualitative Assessment of Vulvovaginal Health Information on Social Media, Julia Bhuiyan, Jessica Addison, Areej Hassan

5) Periods Shouldn't Bring Any Adolescents’ World to a Full Stop. Period. An Online Survey of Adolescents’ Experience of Menstruation Courtney B. Munro, Emma N. Walker, Rachel Schembri, Dehlia Moussaoui and Sonia R. Grover

6) Acute Pain and Personal Experience Paula J. Adams Hillard
