Menstrual Discomfort as a Biological Setting Event for Severe Problem Behavior: Assessment and Intervention.

Carr, Edward G.; Smith, Christopher E.; Giacin, Theresa A.; Whelan, Bernadette M.; Pancari, Joseph

American Journal on Mental Retardation, v108 n2 p117-33 Mar 2003

A study investigated menstrual discomfort as a factor in severe problem behavior in four women with developmental disabilities and identified as having increased behavior problems at the time of menses. A multicomponent strategy, addressing both biological context and the psychosocial context (task demands), reduced problem behavior to near-zero levels. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
