In Peer Group, educational content (Including five menstrual health areas) was explained to 10 students and then six of them were selected and asked to teach to 4-7 of their classmates. Control group received routine training in the form of lecture. Data were collected by a questionnaire of menstrual Health Behaviors, before intervention, after the end of first and second menstrual cycle and were analyzed by Mann-Whitney, Chi square and independent samples t-test. The confidence level was 95% and the significance level was 0. 05. Results: Two groups were similar in age (p = 0. 124). In both groups, mean score of menstrual Health Behaviors was significantly increased (p <0. 001). Mean score of menstrual Health Behaviors in Peer Group, was significantly higher than control group (p <0. 001).
