Most girls will spend a lot of their time at school, which is why it is important for schools to provide an environment that supports menstrual hygiene management (MHM) for their female students so that they are able to follow classes comfortably even when they are on their period. In order for female students to be able to manage their hygiene during menstruation, they would need adequate knowledge and a good attitude regarding menstruation and schools need to provide adequate sanitation infrastructure at school. This research was conducted at SMAN X Depok (n=131) and SMAN Y Depok (n=103) using a questionnaire which was constructed using the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) model and perception towards sanitation infrastructure. Data collected were then analysed using the independent two sample T-test and double linear regression. The result of the two sample T-test shows that there is no significant difference regarding both school’s knowledge, attitude, practice, and perception of sanitation infrastructure. While the T-test using the double linear regression showed that the variable that has an impact on MHM practice is age. The F-test using the same method showed that the variables, knowledge, attitude, and perception of sanitation infrastructure had a simultaneous impact towards MHM practice.
