TLDR Teaching programs significantly improve adolescent girls' knowledge of PCOS.
The study assessed the effectiveness of a planned teaching program on knowledge of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) among 65 adolescent girls at Um Salama High School in Al-Ahsa. Initially, 52.31% of participants had inadequate knowledge of PCOS, but after the program, 95.38% achieved an adequate level of knowledge. The results, analyzed using SPSS version 20, demonstrated that organized education significantly improved the girls' understanding of PCOS (paired t' = 9.61, p<0.05). The study concluded that teaching about PCOS is effective and recommended raising awareness through similar programs in schools.
