The upswing rate of social media usage among rural women of Bihar (India) allows for improving their knowledge, attitude, and practice toward breast cancer which is a big concern in resource-limited countries. This study attempted to evaluate the impact of video-based intervention in advancing knowledge of breast cancer risk factors, symptoms and attitude, and and practice to conduct breast cancer screening.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>A quasi-experimental design study was conducted among rural women in Bihar, India using pretest-posttest method. Validated YouTube Hindi videos were shared in a series as an intervention for the participants. The impact of the intervention videos was assessed by analyzing the 267 fully filled up questionnaires. Additionally, demographic characteristics were calculated and their relationship with knowledge, attitude, and practices was evaluated.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>After three months of the intervention there was a statistically significant (&lt;0.0001) improvement (100 %) in the knowledge level of risk factors, symptoms, and screening of breast cancer. Their attitude towards breast self-examination significantly improved in 58 % of women whereas 16.5 % for clinical breast examination and 9.7 % for mammogram (&lt;0.0001). The practice of breast self-examination significantly improved in 60 % (&lt;0.0001) of women.

Socio-demographic data of the participants were also noted. Prevalence and type of FGIDs were determined. The chi-square test and Independent samples ‘t’-test were used to compare the data.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>The prevalence of FGIDs was 15.85 % (n = 120) in the adolescent population in our study. Functional abdominal pain disorders (n = 65; 54.2 %) were the most common type followed by functional defecation disorders (n = 49; 40.8 %) and functional nausea and vomiting disorders (n = 6; 5 %) respectively. Adolescents with FGIDs had significantly lower mean age (12.98 ± 2.30 years) and mean BMI (16.9 ± 3.2 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) as compared to those without FGIDs (p &lt; 0.001). However, no significant association of sex was seen with FGID prevalence (p = 0.755).</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>FGIDs were found to be prevalent in school/college-going adolescents in our setting with functional abdominal pain disorders contributing to the majority of FGIDs. The Rome-IV criteria-based questionnaire is a useful tool in diagnosing FGIDs among adolescents.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46404,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Epidemiology and Global Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213398424001945/pdfft?md5=3ccc97c001290f1efb459de3d7c87457&pid=1-s2.0-S2213398424001945-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141481037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
