Talking about puberty: audio lessons boost confidence in blind teens
NCT ID NCT07496606
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.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that accessible audio education helps visually impaired girls feel more confident and adopt healthier habits during puberty.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 46 participants and no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention may not work for all girls or in different settings.
