Abstract
Persistent pelvic pain is a significant healthcare concern among adolescents; however adolescents often have poor health literacy regarding their pain. Current school curricula fail to specifically address pelvic pain and management strategies. This review aims to summarise current pelvic pain education programs in Australian and New Zealand schools. These programs have successfully strengthened the understanding of the psychosocial impact of periods and pelvic pain, instilled greater confidence in managing persistent pain and have allowed for prompt detection and treatment of pelvic pain in adolescents. An outcomes‐driven, collaborative, and coordinated approach is needed to improve pelvic health educational interventions for adolescents.
