Can an anxiety questionnaire help identify PMS in high school girls?
The study tested whether an anxiety questionnaire could distinguish girls with and without PMS, but the abstract does not report the actual results.
What they did
They gave an anonymous anxiety questionnaire to 143 high school girls. They divided the girls into two groups: those with PMS symptoms and those without. The questionnaire measured anxiety on two subscales called fear-condition and fear-feature.
What they found
The abstract describes the method but does not report the results or findings from the questionnaire.
What it means for you
This study tested whether anxiety measures could identify PMS, but without reported results, we cannot know whether the method worked. The abstract is incomplete.
