Investigating the association of menstrual symptoms and work productivity with the mediating role of emotional well-being

AI-Generated Content (AIGC) is reshaping information landscapes in Africa and Latin America, impacting women's Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) cognition. This paper explores AIGC's dualistic role through systematic literature synthesis, critical analysis of reports from international health organizations and government agencies, and the development of illustrative case scenarios grounded in documented experiences from these regions. Rather than presenting primary ethnographic data, this conceptual analysis synthesizes existing evidence and constructs contextually informed vignettes to illuminate the complex interplay between emerging technology, cultural contexts, and health cognition. The study highlights the digital divide, cultural factors, and trust as crucial mediators, demonstrating AIGC's dual potential: a tool for empowerment by improving information accessibility, personalization, and discussion of sensitive issues, yet also a risk for exacerbating inequalities through misinformation, algorithmic bias, and ethical concerns. It underscores women's active negotiation of AIGC within their specific socio-cultural contexts. The paper proposes strategic recommendations for technology developers, health systems, and policymakers to responsibly leverage AIGC, promoting a human-centric, equitable, and culturally sensitive approach to foster health equity.
