Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, beberapa saran penelitian lanjutan dapat diajukan. Pertama, penelitian lebih lanjut dapat dilakukan untuk mengeksplorasi faktor-faktor spesifik yang mempengaruhi tingkat pengetahuan remaja putri tentang menarche di berbagai wilayah geografis dan latar belakang sosial ekonomi. Kedua, studi intervensi yang lebih komprehensif perlu dikembangkan, tidak hanya berfokus pada penyuluhan kesehatan, tetapi juga melibatkan partisipasi aktif orang tua dan guru dalam memberikan dukungan emosional dan informasi yang akurat. Ketiga, penelitian kualitatif dapat dilakukan untuk memahami pengalaman dan persepsi remaja putri terhadap menarche secara lebih mendalam, termasuk bagaimana mereka mengatasi rasa takut, cemas, dan stigma yang mungkin timbul. Dengan memahami perspektif mereka, program pendidikan kesehatan dapat dirancang agar lebih relevan dan efektif dalam memberdayakan remaja putri untuk menghadapi masa pubertas dengan percaya diri dan positif.
