Does education about PMS and PMDD help adolescent girls understand their periods better?
Yes, girls' knowledge about PMS increased after education sessions, though the amount of increase varied by age.
What they did
Researchers taught adolescent girls aged 12-18 about PMS and PMDD using pre-tests, education sessions, and post-tests.
What they found
Girls' basic knowledge about PMS increased after the education. Knowledge level varied by their age.
What it means for you
Education can help teenagers learn about PMS and may help them recognize and manage symptoms. The study had no control group, so we cannot be certain that education alone caused the improvement.
