Yes. Teenage girls who received health education about PMS through Facebook showed a clear increase in their knowledge about the condition over 4 weeks.

 Early or limited evidence

## What they did

A study of 77 teenage girls with PMS symptoms. They received health education about PMS delivered through Facebook for 4 weeks. Researchers tested their knowledge before and after using a PMS knowledge questionnaire.

## What they found

After the 4-week Facebook education program, the girls' knowledge about PMS clearly increased compared to before they started. The improvement was measurable.

## What it means for you

Online health education through social media like Facebook can teach teenagers about PMS effectively. The main limitation is that the study had no control group, and it only measured knowledge, not whether symptoms actually improved.
