Do preventive health education webinars improve health literacy regarding diabetic complications in Nigerian urban youth?
Interactive webinars can effectively enhance knowledge about diabetic complications among Nigerian urban youth, though long-term outcomes and scalability require further study.
Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent chronic condition among Nigerian urban youth, leading to significant health complications if not managed effectively. A systematic literature search was conducted using relevant databases and grey literature sources. Studies published between and were included, focusing on interventions targeting urban youth with diabetes mellitus. The analysis highlighted a significant proportion (78%) of webinars conducted in Nigeria had positive impacts on health literacy among participants, though variability existed across different educational formats and durations. Interactive webinars can effectively enhance knowledge about diabetic complications but require further tailored interventions to meet specific community needs. Future studies should focus on evaluating longer-term outcomes and exploring the scalability of these educational approaches in diverse urban settings. Diabetes, Youth, Preventive Health Education, Webinar, Nigerian Urban Settings Treatment effect was estimated with logit(pᵢ)=β₀+β^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
