First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested whether an audio-based educational program about puberty could improve self-concept and healthy behaviors in visually impaired teenage girls. Forty-six girls aged 12-18 from two schools in Egypt took part. The program used simple Arabic audio sessions and Braille materials, and the researchers measured changes in self-concept and healthy behaviors. The goal was to see if this accessible approach could help these girls navigate puberty with more confidence and knowledge.
