 Early or limited evidence

77 school teenagers who experienced PMS and used Facebook for PMS health education

## What they did

Researchers surveyed 77 school teenagers about their experience using Facebook to learn about PMS. The questionnaire measured how easy they found Facebook to use and how useful they found it.

## What they found

Of the 77 teenagers studied, 63.6% found Facebook easy to use for PMS health education and 57.1% found it useful. There was a relationship between ease of use and usefulness, though it was a weak one.

## What it means for you

Facebook may be an effective way to teach teenagers about PMS. The main limitation is that the study only asked teenagers about their perception, not whether they actually learned anything or felt better. It also only included teenagers who already had PMS and were seeking information, so results may not apply to all young people.
