Type: article

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Poor menstrual hygiene knowledge and practices among adolescent girls remain a major public health concern in resource-limited settings, where access to comprehensive reproductive health education is often limited. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of interactive e-modules against educational videos in improving menstrual hygiene knowledge, attitudes, and practices among adolescent females. STUDY DESIGN: test, with effectiveness evaluated by N-gain scores. RESULTS: <.001). Elevated N-gain scores further validated the interactive e-module's superiority. CONCLUSION: Interactive e-modules surpass educational videos in enhancing menstrual hygiene knowledge, attitudes, and practices among adolescent girls, suggesting that they may be a preferred strategy for delivering menstrual health education in schools and other adolescent health programs.
