Period Poverty Agent Model

Agent Model Information

The agent model's story starts with a female's adolescence. A regular teenage girl who goes to school every day just like any other teenager in America. However, once the model plays the story starts to change. 76% of teenage girls in America say that their schools do not provide adequate female health lessons including menstrual health for females. So, every time the teenage girl is next to a school, her education levels regarding feminine health goes down each year she goes to school (which is 12). Once her education level goes down a certain number, she has a 20 percent chance of either becoming an adult and being a businesswoman, or drops out because due to her lack of knowledge about menstrual hygiene, feels embarrassed whenever her cycle comes on causing her to miss as much as 20% of her school year. If the teenager goes on to become a businesswoman, she has an opportunity to gain money whenever she is next to work, and she has an opportunity to lose money when she is next to the grocery store. The businesswoman has 3 different shapes representing how much is in her wallet: businesswoman-mp, businesswomanfood, and dangerous alternatives. Once the businesswoman goes to dangerous alternatives, it is safe to assume that she is unemployed as she no longer gains money when she is next to work. The businesswoman then has a chance to become homeless where she will sooner or later become infected and die.
