Peer power: Friend-Led lessons boost hygiene in college women
NCT ID NCT07464405
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether teaching female university students about genital hygiene through peer educators (fellow students) could improve their habits. 46 students took part, and their hygiene behaviors were measured before and after the program. Overall, general hygiene improved, especially among second-year students and those not studying midwifery. However, menstrual hygiene and awareness of abnormal symptoms did not change significantly. The findings suggest peer education may be a useful, low-cost way to promote better hygiene in university settings.
