Does a video program help teenagers learn about PMS?
Yes. Teenagers who watched a video about PMS gained 16.55% more knowledge than those who did not.
What they did
100 teenage girls were split into two groups of 50. One group watched a video about PMS. Before and after, both groups took a test to measure their knowledge about PMS.
What they found
The video group gained 16.55% more knowledge about PMS compared to the group that did not watch the video.
What it means for you
Educational videos may help teenagers understand PMS better. This study only tested whether knowledge increased, not whether it helps them manage symptoms better.
