Can pop-up book education increase adolescent girls' knowledge about premenstrual syndrome?
Yes. Knowledge about premenstrual syndrome significantly increased after girls received pop-up book education.
What they did
Pre-test post-test study of 77 adolescent girls at a middle school in Jember, Indonesia. Girls received health education about premenstrual syndrome using pop-up book media. Knowledge was measured before and after.
What they found
Knowledge about premenstrual syndrome significantly increased after the pop-up book education (p=0.000).
What it means for you
Pop-up book education effectively increased knowledge about premenstrual syndrome in adolescent girls. A main limitation is this was a small study at one school with no control group, so we cannot be certain the pop-up book itself caused the improvement.
