Study, 2022

# Does education about PMS help teenagers learn about it?

Yes, after attending an education session about PMS, 68% of teenagers had good knowledge about PMS compared to mostly average or below-average knowledge before the session.

 Early or limited evidence

22 high school students at SMA Kartikatama in Indonesia

## What they did

Researchers gave 22 high school students a lecture and discussion session about PMS. They tested the students' knowledge before and after the session.

## What they found

Before education, most students had average or below-average knowledge. After education: 15 of the 22 students had good knowledge (68%), 32% had average knowledge, and no one had below-average knowledge anymore.

## What it means for you

Classroom education about PMS can help teenagers understand it better. Schools and healthcare providers should work together to teach students about PMS so they understand their own health better. A limit is this was a small group at one school and we don't know if they remembered what they learned over time.
