The existing theory of Behavioral Change by Albert Bandura helps the group better analyze and interpret future results, once the data gathering process has commenced. Since, this theory serves as the key foundation for understanding the connection between one’s environmental factors and their decision making abilities, with regards to their individual health. Which in this study’s case are reasons and barriers hindering women to shift to bamboo sanitary pads and their perception to this healthier alternative.
