Background: Adolescents face a range of health challenges, numerous information and guidance regarding adolescent health remaining ignored due to constraints at different levels of health system.One of the main problems among adolescent girls are irregular menstruation, excessive bleeding and dysmenorrhoea. Menstrual irregularities during adolescent period have association with reproductive morbidities in adulthood. Targeting this age group with awareness and early correction of matters and misconceptions related to adolescent sexual reproductive health issues would enable us to yield a healthy society and empowered youth. Objective:To study the prevalence and pattern of menstrual disorders and its associated factors among IX to XII class adolescent girls in Kannur district. Methods:Cross-sectional study among school going adolescent Girls from class IX to XII in Kannur District Results:Among the 1722 study participants, 48.8% had menstrual disorders, in which dysmenorrhoea is the most common menstrual disorder reported 71.5%. The risk factors like rural residence, lower socio-economic status, mixed diet, non-consumption of egg, not physically active both during routine life and also during menstruation, increased BMI showed a significant association with menstrual disorder among the study participants. Conclusion:Use of services by adolescents is limited may be due to lack of adequate privacy and confidentiality and judgemental attitudes of service providers, who often lack counselling skills. Therefore, effective services like assurance of confidentiality, psychological support, counselling is necessary.

Main concentration of this project is to find out the vehicle which is met with an accident by using MEMS sensor and GPS, GSM.Vehicle tracking system is one of the hot topics in embedded systems industry. In this project ARM controller communicates with LCD, GPS module and GSM modem. This system will be placed in a moving vehicle. The ARM controller will poll GPS module in prefixed intervals and sends the vehicle location information (Latitude & Longitude) to central station over GSM network. Whenever any accident occurs MEMS sensor detects the vibration of the vehicle and sends mechanical force, to ARM, by using GPS, we will get particular location where accident occurs, and then GSM sends message to authorized members & 108.One more best feature is whenever any authorized people gives message to GSM at accident location then it sends back the message of the accident location longitude and latitude values.
